Technological centerpiece for a power-to-heat (P2H) project in NRW

A project that has attracted nationwide attention is now starting in Werne, where 50 private households can upgrade their old heating system to a power-to-heat plant. A specialist company will be charged with installing these plants in the return flow of the heating circuit at all participating households. As a result, heating system owners will both consume less conventional fuel and reduce their heating costs. The project will run until 2020. By restructuring the grid, the company Westnetz (www.westnetz.de) ensures that all electricity used here is renewable. As a special incentive, project participants do not pay for the conversion or the electricity used for heating.

Siekerkotte will be providing the electric screw-in heaters for this installation. We produced these heaters according to Westnetz’s wishes and optimized them for the heating requirements of the households. All participants to the project thus know that they will receive a tailor-made solution to be at the forefront of the heat turnaround.

Do you also have interest or questions about electric heat technology and the coupling of electricity and heat? Siekerkotte has been delivering the highest quality for over 27 years, with electric heat plants of up to 5 MW output. Contact us at tel. 05221 930 930, email: siekerkotte@siekerkotte.de

Energy transition is gaining momentum, but if Germany wants to meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement, it is not enough to switch energy generation to renewable energy sources: Heating systems must also increasingly use “green energy”. Key word: heat. This still produces considerable amounts of CO2.
