Description
Since 2002, Stadtwerke Traunreut has consistently focused on the expansion of a climate-friendly, future-proof district heating supply - strategically supported and technically planned by Gammel Engineering.
It all started with well-founded business plans and development scenarios, which proved the economic, technical and ecological feasibility. The first expansion stage began with the heat extraction from the biomass cogeneration plant at the Bosch-Siemens-Hausgeräte GmbH site - a milestone that was to be followed by many more.
🔧 Highlights of our collaboration:
- 2002: Project start with decoupling from the Evonik/Bosch biomass cogeneration plant
- 2005: Increase in feed-in capacity to 10 MW - response to increasing demand
- Ongoing grid expansion with meanwhile three additional heating centers for redundancy
- 2010: Integration of a privately constructed geothermal power plant into the overall grid - including successful heating contract negotiations
- Ongoing strategic consulting on demand development and grid adaptation by Gammel Engineering
💡 Why Traunreut is a successful project:
This project shows how a municipal heat supply can be strategically planned, ecologically sensible and economically viable. The mix of biomass, geothermal energy and redundancy solutions creates a robust heating network with a future.
