Vapo subsidiary Neova enhances its infrastructure business by acquiring district heating networks from Öresundskraft in Sweden
The district heating plants and networks in Vejbystrand and Hjärnarp serve municipal and industrial customers and households with locally produced heat. The change in district heating ownership does not require any action from customers.
Neova is a complete supplier of bioenergy and infrastructure solutions in the emerging circular economy, providing value-adding services for industrial companies, municipalities and households to reduce the environmental impact of heating and optimise energy use.
“We are investing in the district heating networks and production facilities in Vejbystrand and Hjärnarp in line with our expertise and ambition to increase our development of infrastructure services. We already own and operate 15 district heating networks and look forward to providing current and new customers in Vejbystrand and Hjärnarp with renewable and environmentally friendly district heating,” says Peter Bäckström, Country Director, Neova.
“It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we welcome Neova as the new owner of Vejbystrand and Hjärnarp district heating networks. This acquisition will allow us to focus on what we do best, namely the large-scale production and distribution of heat. Neova has extensive experience and capacity for providing environmentally friendly district heating services for customers,” says Anders Östlund, CEO, Öresundskraft.
The district heating networks will be transferred to Neova ownership in August.
