Conducted projects
In 2015, Energy City Frederikshavn shall be converted to 100% renewable energy. Several of the projects whose implementation brings the project to its goal, is already completed. See some of the largest projects in the table below.
Sæby District heating Company
To mark the plant's 50 year anniversary, took Sæby District heating Plant 11,866 m2 solar collector in use in September 2011.
With a maximum installed capacity of 8.2 MW The solar power plant produces 6,350 MWh of heat per. years. The plant is thus to stand for 7% of the total district heating consumption in Sæby Town’s district heating supply area.
Address: Energivej 1, 9300 Sæby
Owner: Sæby Varmeværk A.m.b.a.
Entered: 2011-09-09
Total CO2 savings: 3,000 tons/year.
Geothermal rooftop
Frederikshavn Police Station has undergone a comprehensive energy retrofit in the insulation of its roof.
Traditional insulation is supplemented with 2 kilometers heating pipes under the roofing felt on the roof. The tubes provide hot water year round and provide grants for heating the building.
Heating hose act in the same way as the hoses in a geothermal system. Here it is just the sun's rays and air temperature, that warms the water in the hose up.

Completed: April 2010
Investment: 2.5 million. kr
Frederikshavn City Hall
Last year was Frederikshavn City Hall thoroughly renovated. The house now meets energy class 2 demand, corresponding to energy consumption of 70 kWh/m2 per years and ranks therefore as a energy lightweight.
Address: City Hall All 100, 9900 Frederikshavn
Partners: Frederikshavn, ARKINORD, MT Højgaard, Ramboll, Seasonal
Construction Period: January 2009 to February 2010
Area: 12,000 m2
Investment: 95 million. DKK (8,000 kr./m2 ex. VAT)
Green energy solutions:
- 150 m2 of solar cells produce electricity for City Hall
- 400 m2 of solar collectors produce energy for cooling, hot water and heating the City Hall
- Stricter requirements for lighting, ventilation and cooling, all is automatically controlled
Total CO2 saving per. year: 60%
Mega-heat-pump
In 2009 a new heat-pump at the wastewater treatment plant in Frederikshavn was connected to the collective district heating system . The uniqueness of the heat-pump is that it is using cheap, surplus electricity from offshore windmills nearby Frederikshavn and heat from the sewage plant can supply heat for district heating network in Frederikshavn, corresponding to approx. 400 households. The heat-pump is one of the first of its kind in Denmark.
