Fortum received PLN 7.8 million from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management for digital modernization of heating networks in three cities: Wrocław, Częstochowa and Płock – Fortum said in a press release. The total cost of the investment is over PLN 26 million.

As stated, the company will modernize 8,299 heat nodes and implement new network management software.

“This project gives us better control over the entire network and a faster response in case of problems,” he added.

As indicated, the co -financing applies to three cities: Wrocław – PLN 4.48 million (modernization of 4,287 knots, saving 102 thousand GJ per year) Płock – PLN 1.84 million (1.825 knots, saving 30,000 GJ) and Częstochowa – PLN 1.53 million (2,187 knots, saving 34,000 GJ).
