1,843,774 households are connected to district heating (66% of all the households). District heating is a transmission system that can be connected to all forms of heat production (waster, wood chips, straw, wind, solar, geothermal, gas, oil, coal, surplus heat from industry, etc.). As each district heating plant uses a different mix of heat sources the price differs between customers depending on where they live. The difference in price can even reach five times between district heating plants. Obs! District heating plants cannot make a profit and need to send back to customers any money surplus.
- If you live nearby one of the four largest cities in Denmark and you are connected to a district heating plant that mainly uses waste for heating, you have not felt the energy crisis in terms of your heating bill. 23.4% of district heating is made from waste.
