Ennetsee heating network starts work
WWZ has commissioned the first section of the Ennetsee heating network. The first properties in Rotkreuz ZG are now supplied with heat from the Renergia waste incineration plant in Perlen LU.
With the opening of the transport pipeline between Perlen and Rotkreuz, WWZ has put the first section of its Ennetsee heating network into operation. “From now on, waste heat from the Renergia waste incineration plant (KVA) in Perlen will flow into the Rotkreuz distribution network and supply the first properties in the municipality with regional, environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral energy for heating and hot water,” explains the Zug-based energy, telecommunications and water supplier in a corresponding press release.
Once completed, the Ennetsee heating network will be able to supply not only Rotkreuz but also the village of Holzhäusern, which belongs to Risch ZG, the Bösch area in the municipality of Hünenberg ZG, Hünenberg See and Cham with waste heat from the Renergia waste incineration plant. WWZ expects that the heat network will then prevent more than 12,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The company is currently working on further district heating pipelines in Rotkreuz and on the next section of the main transport pipeline from the waste incineration plant to Cham.
