Thanks to Imola's cogeneration plant, which produces electricity and heat from a single source, the city and its district are completely self-sufficient in case of blackouts. Find out more about one of the most advanced plants in Italy.
What do the Town Hall and the Municipal Library of Imola have in common, but also the theatres, the old and the new hospital, the Alberghetti Technical Institute, and the municipal swimming pool? They are all connected to the district heating network served by the Imola Cogeneration Plant, the pride and joy of the Hera Group. An extremely cutting-edge project that in 2019 celebrated the tenth anniversary of its foundation, confirming it is one of the most innovative and efficient plants in Italy.
Let's take a step back. What is cogeneration? It is the combined production of multiple forms of secondary energy, such as electricity or heat, within a single integrated system powered by a single primary energy source, which can be fossil or renewable. This process can save around 40% of energy compared to the production of electricity and heat separately in conventional power plants.
The Imola cogeneration plant, housed on a site of over 5 thousand m2, is perfectly integrated into its surrounding landscape. It is powered by natural gas and has an electrical power of 80 MWe, almost enough to satisfy the Imola area's entire annual electricity demand. With a thermal capacity of 65 MWt, it can support both the current peak loads required by the district heating network and the basic thermal load expected with future connections. Moreover, since it can operate "as an island", the power station can continue to supply electricity to almost all the users connected to the Italian grid even in the event of a power blackout, making Imola and its district perfectly self-sufficient.
In 2019, the Imola cogeneration plant produced 257,900 MWh of electricity and 118,785 MWh of thermal energy. The plant provides high performance from both the production and the environmental points of view, combining low levels of atmospheric emissions with significant energy savings. We have achieved many goals in recent years, but we are not going to stop: in 2020, in fact, we are working to reduce the power plant's water consumption further.
