According to the director of Dansk Fjernvarme (district heating association), if Denmark and the European Union introduce a price ceiling to electricity (a maximum price possible) and a special tax on revenues made by the electricity producing companies then there will be a higher heating bill for the 1,8 million district heating customers. Why? District heating associations also produce electricity and the income from selling electricity has allowed them to keep the heating bills for customers low.
- As a customer of a publicly owned district heating association you are in a privileged position. The average yearly heating cost is at 13.000 DKK while the average heating cost for a gas heated house is at 56.700 DKK.
