SMARTCE2H
Smart citizen-centered local electricity to heat systems
A brief Summary
The overall objective of the project is to carry out test and demonstration activities by working closely with local citizens, local authorities and stakeholders for establishing community-based transition of the heating supply from fossil fuel (natural gas and oil boilers) to electric heating in individual residences and in the district heating network of selected local communities under Skive municipality. These are important steps targeted by Skive municipality for achieving a goal of CO2-neutrality in 2029. The project will also include analysis on how the local electricity grid system is affected, possible bottlenecks and how local rural energy systems and the local grid system can be optimized – seeing the Western Salling test and demonstration area as a local integrated community energy system.

Suntherm ApS is a small Danish enterprise that was established in 2014. The focus for Suntherm is to develop a new heating system to replace fossil fuels in residential buildings. Over the years, Suntherm has received funding from both investors and from national and international programmes. During 2018, Suntherm started selling heating as a service to consumers i Hvidbjerg. In this project, SmartCE2H, Suntherm will gather insights from the electricity import/export from the local energy community and will be able to further develop its products and business models to target local energy communities throughout Denmark and Europe. Suntherm currently has 9 employees.

Skive Municipality is a municipality in Central Denmark covering the Salling Peninsula in Jutland. It covers an area of 688 km2 and has a population of approx. 50,000. The municipaliy has an ambition to become CO2-neutral in 2029. This requires the citizens to become part of the change over with participation, acceptance and ownership of local, renewable energy initiatives. Energibyen Skive is a development department under the municipality of Skive, working with climate, energy and business development. Skive Municipality’s activities in SMARTCE2H will target the West-Salling demonstration area and relevant rural areas. Skive Municipality has a total of 2,500 employees.
