Högsby Energi AB – Högsby, Sweden (49.9 kW)

Background

Högsby Energi AB is a municipally owned district heating company that sells and delivers district heating within the town of Högsby. The heating plant consists of a 4 MW hot water boiler fueled by forest residues. To reduce the plant’s electricity and grid costs, Högsby Energi chose to invest in an ORC turbine and produce its own electricity.

Our solution

Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum electrical capacity of 49.9 kW. The ORC system enables electricity production from the hot water of the heating boiler. In total, the system is expected to produce 250 MWh of electricity annually, corresponding to annual emission reductions of 225 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents when replacing European marginal electricity. Högsby Energi has signed a service agreement with Againity to ensure long lifetime and minimal maintenance.
