Renewable Energy
Green loans can be granted for renewable production projects. The production plant must only use renewable sources of energy for both base and peaks loads.
Renewable energy production
Applies to the following:
a) Biogas plants
b) Geothermal wells
c) Solar cells or solar thermal collectors
d) Pellet or wood chip heating systems
e) Other renewable energy sources
Documentation:
- Expected annual energy production (kWh/year).
Energy storage
Storage of locally generated energy using one of the following methods:
a) Electrical storage, e.g. batteries
b) Thermal storage
c) Storage as hydrogen.
Documentation:
- Expected storage capacity (kW).
Energy infrastructure
Municipalities’ contribution to work to construct or upgrade the network’s capacity, e.g. a construction contribution.
Documentation:
- Expected increase in capacity (MW).
A production plant or distribution network for district heating or cooling. The plant must use renewable energy sources for both base and peak loads. Use of electricity to meet peak loads is acceptable. Energy from waste incineration or surplus heat/
cold generated by other processes can also be used. The use of mineral-based emergency fuels can only be approved for clearly defined emergency situations.
Documentation:
- Expected increase in capacity (MW).
- Expected distribution between energy sources (%).
