Onsbjerg
The district heating station is located in the southwestern
part of Onsbjerg and supplies about 80
houses and institutions with heat from straw. The
plant opened in 2003 and the heat is produced
by burning shredded straw delivered by Kremmer
Jensen ApS, the owners of the plant. The initial costs
were about 8.5 million DKK (1.1 million EUR), paid in
part with a grant of 3 million DKK (0.4 million EUR)
from the Danish Energy Authority.
The board of the Onsbjerg district heating system
consists of five members from ’Kremmer Jensen
ApS’, two members selected by the consumers and
one island council member. Changes in heat prices
have to be approved by the municipal council. At the
moment the price for district heating in Onsbjerg is
the lowest on the island, on the same level as the
price in Ballen/Brundby.
Originally, Onsbjerg was planned to be one of seven
villages, pearls on a string, supplied by district heat
from surplus heat from the ferries docking in Kolby
Kås and Sælvig on the west coast of Samsø. 37 %
of the heat demand was envisaged covered by the
ferries, while the remaining heat demand was to be
delivered by biogas from a thermopile system fed
with biological trash and wood chips. This project
was dropped in 2000 because the 52 million DKK (6.8
million EUR) in capital costs could not be raised.
Instead a group consisting of citizens from Onsbjerg,
a local entrepreneur and ‘Samsø Energy Company’
decided to work on a smaller district heating station
for the village based on a straw fired boiler. In
2002 the group was ready to sign contracts with the
consumers
