Geothermal in Aarhus

In collaboration with district heating company Kredsløb, Innargi is bringing geothermal district heating to the the second largest city in Denmark, Aarhus. The geothermal heating plant will be the biggest of its kind in the EU once completed in 2030. The plant will consist of three facilities in three different locations around Aarhus.

Aarhus Project

Current status

Three wells have been finished, completing the test phase. Based on the results from these three test wells, and due to positive technological developments in the project’s first year, Kredsløb and Innargi have updating the geothermal project. The ambition is to deliver the same amount of heat from three locations instead of the originally planned seven. 

The Skejby facility will be delivering its first heat in 2025.
