Summary

Swedish district heating company Mälarenergi has partnered with ABB to upgrade its switchgear with retrofit solutions at its cogeneration plant in Västerås.
 
Mälarenergi’s cogeneration plant in Västerås is one of Sweden’s largest, with 98% of all local properties connected to the district heating network. The plant produces 1,800GWh of heat and 700GWh of electricity annually and has been continuously upgraded since the 1960s.
 
The retrofit was carried out in three stages with customised solutions required for each of the switchgear cabinets.
 
By modernising its electricity system and upgrading the switchgear, Mälarenergi can avoid unplanned downtime, maintain predictable delivery to its customers and increase safety for both personnel and equipment.
