#DistrictCooling and other #infrastructure and #archtectural changes can help increase the efficiency of #cooling #systems and radically reduce the #energy such systems use even as exponentially more people in more places are finally able to access the lifesaving benefits of artificially and more naturally cooled air.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange #solutions abound.

#Helsinki energy utility Helen invests100M€ (incl. 14M€ govt. grant) in new #heatPump to produce 90MWth #DistrictHeat and 60MWth #DistrictCooling.
Heat source is wastewater, that has already delivered heat to the #KatriVala heat pump station, but with heat remaining.

Heat pump should be operational in late 2025 and deliver 460 GWh/a heat.

Too bad #SeasonalStorage is not included in this project, that could add value when power price volatility increases.
