Of the total construction cost of EUR 7.42 (DKK 54 million), EUR 670,000 (DKK 5 million) has been spent on a fixed pipe connection between the biogas plant and the Arla diary factory.
For 27 years, Vegger Biogas has supplied Vegger’s more than 150 households with district heating. However, the biogas plant was in need of a solid renovation. With the possibility to sell a part of the future heat production to the Arla cheese diary in Bislev, it was possible to both modernise and double the heat production.
At a general meeting, the consumers in Vegger (86 out of 89 attendees), gave the board of Vegger Heating Plant green light to take over the almost debt-free, but worn-down biogas plant, and gave their approval of the two-digit million investment.
