District Heating Prices to Rise in Aarhus Next Year

District heating in Aarhus will become eight percent more expensive next year.

The utility company Kredsløb announced the price change in a press release.

For a standard customer, this means paying about 1,000 Danish kroner more per year.

A defect on a turbine at Studstrupværket caused the sudden price increase.

Energy company Ørsted operates the Studstrup power plant.

Repairs on the damaged turbine will take considerable time to complete.

During repairs, heating will come from electric and oil boilers.

These temporary boilers cost significantly more money to run.

Kredsløb assured customers that heating supplies will remain completely stable.

CEO Bjarne Munk Jensen expressed regret over raising heating prices for local households.

Danish public broadcaster DR first reported the announcement.
