Energie 360° builds climate-friendly energy centre in Dällikon
Energie 360° hat grünes Licht für den Aufbau einer Energiezentrale in Dällikon bekommen. Durch Abwärmenutzung soll die erneuerbare Energieversorgung vorangetrieben werden. Die Gemeinde geht von 3000 Tonnen CO2-Ersparnis pro Jahr aus.
The energy supplier Energie 360° has been granted a licence by the municipality of Dällikon to build a climate-friendly energy network. According to a press release, Dällikon will be the third municipality in the Furttal valley, alongside Regensdorf and Buchs, to have an energy network that is supplied with CO2-neutral energy from the Green data centre in Dielsdorf.
The planned energy network is fuelled by the conversion of waste heat from energy-intensive mainframe computers into useful energy. By eliminating fossil heating systems, the municipality expects to reduce CO2 emissions by 3,000 tonnes. “The project offers us the opportunity to drive forward the energy transition,” says municipal president René Bitterli in the press release.
The population of Regensdorf had approved the necessary land purchase. Construction is scheduled to start there in autumn 2024. The centre is expected to supply climate-friendly energy to public buildings and properties owned by private parties in Dällikon from autumn 2027. Regensdorf and Buchs are to receive their energy from there from autumn 2026.
In addition to the planning, Energie 360° has taken on the financing, construction and operation. The energy supplier has announced that it will be approaching homeowners and administrations in the coming weeks to inform them about the conditions for a connection.
