Tranebjerg
The district heating station in Tranebjerg opened
in 1994. Its straw-fi red boiler burns whole bales of
straw. The station is owned by NRGi (at that time

million DKK (3.4 million EUR). The project was not
subsidized by the Government.
In 1992, a few active citizens in Tranebjerg asked
ARKE to re-establish a derelict district heating system.
These citizens participated in the process until

2005 more than 90 % of Tranebjerg’s heat supply, including
the large institutional buildings, came from
the district heating plant.
Nordby-Mårup
In 2002, the district heating plant located between
the villages Mårup and Nordby opened. Here the
heat is produced by burning wood chips (about 80
%), and by a 2,500 m² solar heating system (about
20 %). The station is owned by NRGi and the initial
capital expenses were about 20.5 million DKK (2.7
million EUR). This investment was partly subsidized
with a grant of about 9 million DKK (1.2 million EUR)
from the Danish Energy Authority. About 80 % of
the buildings in the two villages are connected to
the district heating system.
At a meeting arranged by the island renewable energy
organizations, a ’district heating group’ consisting
of citizens from the local area was defi ned. In 1998
the group decided to ask NRGi to establish a district
heating system for the two villages. NRGi agreed to
try and the planning started. It is worth mentioning
that the Nordby-Mårup plant was to be the last of the
