E.ON Project Stores Heat From Renewable Sources

摘要

E.ON has launched a pilot project in Hamburg, Germany, to feed heat from renewable energy sources into the public district heating grid. Homeowners who produce heat with the aid of solar thermal systems can feed it into the grid of E.ON Hanse Warme. Customers feeding in heat continue to own it, meaning that they can feed in heat in the summer and then withdraw it again in colder months. This enables homeowners to dispense with the need for buying their own storage units for their solar thermal systems as well as the complex control devices required.
