Technical Tour 11 September: Heat pit storage at Høje
Taastrup District Heating
There has been a slight change in the program, due to a high number of registered participants. We have now closed for registration to the tour.
Høje Taastrup District Heating and the district heating company VEKS have built and now own a heat pit storage together. Since its inauguration in late 2022 it has added value to the Greater Copenhagen district heating system and contributes to the green transition. The purpose of the storage is to store district heating when it is cheap to produce – and supply when it is expensive to produce. The storage contains 70,000 m3 (equivalent to 3,300 MWh), has a charging and discharging capacity of 30 MW and is expected to add an annual value of DKK 6-7 million to the Greater Copenhagen district heating system. Quoting CEO Astrid Birnbaum: “The project is a unique cooperation between many players in the district heating systems of the Copenhagen metropolitan area. Our common goal is less expensive and greener energy”.

Communities – Avedøre Holme
The Energy Community Avedøre consists of a wide variety of stakeholders – both citizens, the municipality, a social housing organization, businesses, the local district heating company and the local high school. The aim is to share locally produced energy and to integrate both production and consumption of electricity and heating. The energy community is working with PVs, charging of EVs, batteries and windmills alongside a range of innovative district heating projects. At the site of Hvidovre High School the principal and chairman of the Energy Community Avedøre will bid you welcome and introduce you to the thoughts behind. A representative of a local company – the movie production company Zentropa – will also be sharing his thoughts on being part of the development of the Energy Community Avedøre.
The industrial energy community of Avedøre Holme will also be presented by one of the local stakeholders. He will share his thoughts on the common vision of the companies of the area and their ambitions. They wish to become self-sufficient with locally produced and shared energy.

14 September: DaCES anniversay, Danish Centre of Energy Storage
On the DaCES Anniversary on the 14th of September, you can hear about the report “Status, strengths and synergies – DaCES report on energy storage in Denmark 2023”, which DaCES publishes the same day. The report provides an overview of energy storage and technologies, their maturity and examples of strong collaborations between industry and research.
‘Energy storage is an important piece in realizing the ambitions for a green, integrated and cost-effective energy system. We are looking forward to bringing together industry, SMEs, research and politicians on the 14th of September, where we will present our recommendations on how Denmark can develop the field into a green growth engine. Common goals are needed so that we do not end up in debates about which technology is most important today, but instead look up and decide where we want to go as a society and with our comprehensive green transition.’ – Head of Secretariat at DaCES, Anne Marie Damgaard
