The core of the investment program for the DH system of Amyntaio is the installation of a new biomass combustion plant to serve Amyndeon’s existing district heating system as well as its future extensions. The thermal energy production unit, the implementation of which has been launched, is a combustion of biomass. It has a total capacity of 30 MW (2×15ΜW) and will cover the thermal needs of the existing district heating network in the villages of Amyntaion, Filotas, and Levaia as well as future thermal needs. The contract for the implementation of the project was signed on 2/10/2018 with the contractor HELECTOR SA.
