The vast majority of Randers is heated using district heating from the Randers CHP plant, centrally located in the port of Randers and from where electricity is sold on the energy exchange. We currently fire using biofuel at the plant – this is good for the environment. The CHP plant chimney is a landmark in the city and is decorated with colourful lights during the darker months of the year.

The Grenaa CHP plant was built in 1992 and supplies district heating to Grenaa heating plant as well as process steam to companies that use steam in production. The plant is a multi-fuel fired combined heat/power station.
