Sustainable and efficient – our special projects
We think ahead. We offer insurance against loss of heating, the Smart Heat innovation project, a contracting model
to improve heating plants and the re-municipalisation of electricity networks: with its numerous special projects, SEV is a pioneer, exploring the latest technical processes and tailor-made solutions to problems, always for the benefit of its members and local consumers.
As regards district heating, SEV has developed a form of “heating loss insurance” with its district heating plant operators. The member plants of SEV will conclude a service contract with an external provider who can intervene within 24 hours with a mobile unit should a heating plant in South Tyrol cease operation following a fire or a natural disaster or technical issues.
Each district heating plant pays an annual contribution according to its size and receives a guarantee that a mobile
heating unit of between 500 kW and 6 MW will be available for 365 days a year, available to deliver heat within one day. SEV, as a representative of the district heating plants in South Tyrol, was also been able to negotiate better conditions for its members in order to guarantee security of supply, especially for institutions such as nursing homes, schools and hospitals.
This “insurance” is essential in the winter months and such solidarity is only possible in South Tyrol, as the cost of a
heating plant not can be borne alone. The aim of the future “Smart Heat” project is to ensure the balanced use of local district heating plants via optimised heat production, as well as inventorying the network infrastructure and the use of future technologies, especially in the event of seasonal variations in consumption over the day.
