District heating & utilities
Flexible heat production for district heating and utilites
District heating companies and utilities need heat production that is reliable, cost-efficient, and ready for a more dynamic energy system.
More renewable power, volatile electricity prices and growing demand for supply security are changing the role of heat production. Flexible electric heat production can become a strategic advantage.
Inopower helps utilities produce heat when power is attractive. We also help use flexible capacity to support the grid and access value through Grid Balancing & Control Solutions. Our E-boilers provide reliable electric heat production, while our RTU technology makes assets controllable, responsive and ready for market participation.
The result is flexible heat production that can help lower heat costs, strengthen security of supply and support a more balanced energy system.
The business case
Flexible electric heat production can create value in daily operation, in the energy mix and through participation in electricity markets.
Lower heat production costs
Produce heat when electricity prices are attractive and reduce dependence on fossil-based heat production.
Value from flexibility
Use controllable heat capacity to support grid balancing and access value through Grid Balancing & Control Solutions.
Low-maintenance operation
Add electric heat capacity without fuel deliveries, storage or handling — and with limited day-to-day maintenance.
Short payback potential
Combine low heat production costs, low maintenance and market participation to strengthen the return on investment.
