Reggio Emilia
Reggio Emilia
The New Energy Hub (Combined Cycle and Network 2) constitutes the core of the Reggio Emilia district heating network; the Via Sardegna and Pappagnocca Terrachini power plants act as integration and reserve. Additional power plants located close to the places of use produce cooling energy for the district cooling/air conditioning service.
Parma
Parma
The Parma district heating network is mainly served by the heat produced by the combustion of the non-recoverable fraction of waste within the PAI cogeneration plant. In addition to this, there are the integration and reserve power plants in Strada S. Margherita, located inside the Iren Group headquarters, and in Via Lazio, mainly used during periods of maximum thermal demand. An additional, stand-alone network is fed by the Campus thermal power plant.
