Ferrovial
Summary
Ferrovial and DH Ecoenergías held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the beginning of construction of a renewable district heating system in Zamora, Spain. The event was attended by Pablo Novo Espiñeira, Zamora city Alderman in charge of Construction, Urban Infrastructure, Mobility and Citizen Participation.
Ferrovial is to build an underground distribution network to provide heating and hot water to more than 6,400 homes using renewable energy from biomass. The 14-kilometer network will distribute heat from a thermal plant located in the vicinity. As part of the project, Ferrovial will also refurbish an existing industrial building and the system’s ancillary facilities. The network will run from the eastern part of Zamora to Tres Cruces street, without affecting the historic center.
It will not only contribute to avoiding over 11,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, but will also save users 25% on heating and hot water costs. The first phase of the project is expected to take 14 months to build, and the entire project is to be completed in four years; it will create over 125 jobs in the local community.
