Pannergy informs that trial operations have commenced for the district heating at Miskolc City's centre with nearly 30 MW combined capacity installed.
In a recent press release, PannErgy Plc’s subsidiary, KUALA Ltd announced that it has completed the second phase of the Geothermal Project of Miskolc. KUALA Ltd has funded the investment partly from the HUF one billion non-repayable grant awarded to the application entitled “Geothermal energy, professional expertise serving the economy” in the grant application scheme “Satisfaction of local heat and/or cooling demands with the use of renewable energies” announced within the framework of the Environment and Energy Operational Programme of the New Széchenyi Plan.
The mayor of Miskolc City of County Rank, Dr. Ákos Kriza joined the managing director of Miskolc Heat Distribution Ltd, László Nyíri and PannErgy Plc’s chief executive officer, Péter Tóth on 9 September to open the district heating center in Tatár Street, a constituent of the second phase of the Geothermal Project of Miskolc. With the implementation of the Project,
trial operation can be commenced, and as a result heat will be supplied by the Company to the district heating areas of Miskolc City Center and the University District.
The second phase of the project has involved the construction of a preinsulated line section between the district heating center in Tatár Street needed for system expansion and the Avas District Heating Center. The nearly 4-km long pair of new heat transmission lines starting from the Avas Hydraulic Station – via the heat exchangers of nearly 30 MW combined capacity installed in the district heating center in Tatár Street – carry hot water produced with the use of geothermal energy towards the Heating System of the City Center. The trial operations scheduled to last until the end of September will see testing with the systems of MIH? Ltd and MVM MIF? Ltd, and alignment of their technical parameters in order to put continuous and safe heat feeding in place for the 2014 heating season.
