The geothermal system will start to be installed in five new districts in Szeged. Four elements of the nine-part system have been completed.
The trial runs of the four completed systems have been underway since the start of the heating season and the results so far speak for themselves.
Thanks to the trial operation, half a million cubic metres less gas per month are needed to run the district heating service in Szeged. This saves between 20 and 30 million HUF every month.
An important indicator is that thanks to the reduced gas consumption, district heating-related emissions in Szeged have already been reduced from 55,000 tonnes to 42,000 tonnes. As the system becomes more and more developed, carbon dioxide emissions will decrease even more.
By the end of the roll-out of the five new systems that are now starting, 21,000 homes and 200 institutions will be connected to the system.
