Termming, a member of the ENGIE Group, in agreement with the town of Senica, is preparing an extensive modernisation of the central heating supply. The project aims to ensure more reliable heat supply, more stable prices for households and at the same time significantly reduce the burden on the environment.
The modernisation of the system, worth EUR 7.4 million excluding VAT, will be financed mainly from the Modernisation Fund, which can cover up to 85% of the investment. The remainder will be paid by Termming from its own resources. As a result, the project is being implemented without significant financial impact on the city or residents.
The modernisation project concerns not only the wood chip boiler house on Továrenská Street, but also the entire hot water system supplying residential houses and public buildings.
Modernisation involves three main steps:
- construction of new primary heat distribution lines (1 679 m) to connect the gas boiler rooms and engine rooms of Primary School III and Primary School IV with the Municipal Heating Plant,
- reconstruction of gas boiler houses to heat transfer stations and modernisation of heat transfer stations for schools,
- renewal of secondary heat distribution lines (3 699 m).
For the residents, this means more comfort, a more stable system with a longer service life, fewer breakdowns and better control of the heat supply. An important benefit of the modernisation will be in particular the stabilisation of heat prices.
The project also has a strong environmental dimension. It will increase the proportion of heat produced from wood chips and reduce dependence on natural gas. Approximately 1 600 tonnes of carbon dioxide will be saved annually in Senica, which will contribute to cleaner air and a healthier environment.
The implementation of the project is planned for 2026. The works will be organised in such a way that any restrictions in hot water supply will be as small as possible for households.
The modernisation of the central heat supply is an important step towards a sustainable and energy efficient Senica. It confirms that investments in modern and environmentally friendly solutions can bring concrete benefits for people – lower environmental burden, more stable prices and reliable heat supply.
