Will Aarhus' first geothermal heating plant be built in Skejby?

The councillor, CEO of Kredsløb and Project Director of Innargi kneeled to lay the foundation stone for Aarhus’ first geothermal heating plant in Skejby. The plant will transfer heat from the geothermal reservoir to the district heating network.

When will a geothermal project start in Aarhus?

The first exploration well was drilled at the Port of Aarhus in 2023. The first of three geothermal facilities will be located in Skejby and deliver the first heat in 2025. The planned collected capacity of the geothermal heating plants in Aarhus is 110MW, equalling 20% of Aarhus’ district heating demand.

Can geothermal energy be used in Aarhus?

Following these successful wells, the project has entered into the construction phase of the heat exchange plant in Skejby. The project is designed to utilise geothermal energy by extracting 70°C water from a sandstone aquifer deep underground and then, transferring this heat to Aarhus’s district heating network.
