Poland | Road Show | Study Tour
September 30 – October 3
In cooperation with Royal Danish Embassy in Warsaw, DBDH takes pleasure in inviting you to join a District Heating Road Show in Poland, which will take place from 30 September to 3 October in Warsaw, Ciechanow, Ostroda and Gdynia.
The road show will be planned in cooperation with the Polish District Heating Chamber, IGCP, and the theme of the tour is: Looking to Danish know-how and technologies for outphasing fossil fuels in the Polish district heating sector.
The Polish District Heating Market
District heating is one of the most common methods of supplying households with heat in Poland. It serves nearly 16 million Polish citizens, i.e., about 52% of the households.
Currently, there are about 400 heating companies licensed by the Energy Regulatory Office (URE). Approximately 61% of plants are fired with hard coal. The length of the Polish district heating network is 22800 km. The share of heat produced from district heating plants amounts to 65%.
Polish district heating sector faces challenges to improve energy efficiency and phase out from fossil fuels.
The basic goals for the heating sector in the coming years and assumptions for the heating strategy will include new design temperatures for determining power & heat demand, maintenance and development of district heating systems – by 2040 all district heating systems should meet the criteria according to the EED, indicating the new role of cogeneration in modern heating systems – using the effect of high electricity prices in the power system and integration of heating with power engineering – effective use of surplus electricity from RES for heat production.
At this moment the new district heating strategy for Poland has not been released but there are many individual transformation strategies in the district heating companies based on FIT 55!
The sector will strive to make the most of renewable energy sources through the implementation of new technologies, e.g., waste heat, solar collectors, heat pumps, geothermal sources. Numerous modernization and investment activities are expected to be undertaken.
The investment processes is supported by funds available within National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. The National Fund for Environmental Protection continues the program “Effective heating and cooling systems” with the budget of PLN 500 mln (EUR 125 mln). They are directed to the sector of local heating companies.
The major expected outcome of the Road Show will be the heating/cooling knowledge and technology transfer from Denmark to Poland, contributing to the Danish export increase in the district heating market.
The Road Show – who will you meet?
During the meetings we expect the presence of local district heating utilities both heat suppliers and distribution companies together with representatives from the regional municipalities.
Visiting Warszawa and three more cities will give you the full insight into the development plans and projects in the district heating sectors in this Northern part of Poland. The Danish case and success story of district heating will further be presented by an expert from Denmark, Mr. Lars Gullev, former Chairman of DBDH.
You will be able to present your solutions and technologies during the round table meetings, and get into dialogue with the stakeholders in the sector. This comprises both management and technical level of numerous district heating companies in the North Part of Poland enabling direct contact with your potential customers in the Polish DH sector.
