SUNSTORE 3, Phase 2

In-field solar heating system of 35,000 square metres and 3 MW thermal heating pumps

Funded by: EUDP

The project will demonstrate a full-scale pit heat storage facility of 60,000 cubic metres combined with a large in-field solar heating system of 35,000 square metres and 3 MW thermal heating pumps. With its output of approx. 20,000 MWh annually, this energy facility will be able to supply the town of Dronninglund with 50% of its heating requirements. This total energy concept is to be compatible with all district heating systems.
