Besser and other villages
Finally, an attempt was made to establish the last
of the four planned district heating systems for the
villages Besser, Langemark, Torup and Østerby, but
the attempt was not successful. Some of the citizens
were not interested in the project. Others had made
private investments in biomass installations and
other renewable energy systems.
The above project was not as straightforward as
some of the other projects. The distribution piping
to Østerby was relatively long and there were only a
few consumers in the village. In Torup, several of the
consumers had already invested in biomass solutions.
In Besser, the largest of the villages, very few were
interested and the same was the case in Langemark.
In addition, many of the houses in Besser are vacation
homes.
