In addition to running the heat utility for the cities of Randers and Herning in Denmark they are also involved in:
• Energy production (incl. development and production of energy solutions) – includes production from fossil fuels and renewable energy production and production of energy plants.
• Transmission and distribution of electricity, water and heating through grids.
• Supply and consumption of energy for end-users.
• Trade in energy sources (biomass, wood chips, coal and electricity).
• Trade in industrial coal (carbon products for technology, metal and alloy production).
• Technical infrastructure solutions and services, including, consultancy, installation, maintenance and optimisation, e.g. of street and traffic lighting and charging systems.
The symbiotic coupling of the electricity, water and heating utilities is a modern and future orientated approach that should and could be copied throughout the UK.
For local authorities looking to lower energy prices and secure a reliable supply of renewable energy will need to be looking closely at companies such as Verdo as an example for their future energy system and infrastructure.
A hard-nosed technical, financial and waste not, want not approach to our energy system will be crucial if the UK is to be successful in its green energy transition away from polluting individual gas boilers to clean, green heat supplied by district heating networks.
We encourage you to take a look at their comprehensive Annual Report 2023.
