District Heating Municipal Company of Ptolemaida (DHCP)
DHCP is a medium size SME company. Was established in 1994, according to the Municipal law, as a public body, owned 100% by the Municipality of Ptolemaida, in order to administrate the District Heating System of Ptolemaida, to construct, operate and maintain all the necessary DH infrastructure and to commission DH Heat to consumers. Ptolemaida’s DH system, installed in 1991-93 by Municipal authorities due to “Valoren” co-financing, was the pioneering DH system all over Greece. Main objectives of DHCP are:
- Ensure the efficiency and security of cogenerated heat supply
- Expansion of DH networks to the entire city and to the communities
- Support to regional development activities, favoured by low cost, environmental friendly heat
- Support to alternative agriculture
- Implementation of alternative energy systems and renewable energy
- Cooperation in National and EU level.
About the partnership
DHCP will support Theseus H4C activities related to the development of innovative solar thermal technology for district heating and cooling applications. With its extensive experience in the field of district heating, DHCP can significantly contribute to enhancing the functionality and efficiency of the system. Additionally, part of the infrastructure managed by DHCP will be leveraged for the transfer of thermal and cooling energy produced by this advanced technology.
