Introducing SCADA for district heating distribution
The value embedded in smart meter data is undeniable, but unlocking that value requires the right tools. Kamstrup’s new analytics platform, Heat Intelligence, is a direct result of our continuous investment in maximising the value our customers get from their data.
The business case for digitalised district heating
The decarbonisation of heating systems is no longer a question of ‘if’ but rather ‘how soon’. With increasing focus from all industry levels on the potential in district heating as the vehicle to make it happen, it is crucial to use current positive developments as stepping stones to making the digitalisation of district heating a reality.
We have looked at the business case of moving to remotely read meters and the potential for optimization.
Your value of data
In a supply world filled with buzzwords and complexity, you get an overview and profits. We've gathered nine concrete steps and tips to get more value from the data you get from your supply network.
Small utilities combine tradition and inventive genius
“We are in a constant process of optimisation – and in that process, our metering solution provides the basis for creating results for the utility as well as for our customers. Today, we can spend our time, resources and skills working with preventive measures and operations optimisation instead.”
- Kenneth Sköld, CEO of Överkalix Värmeverk.
New possibilities with smart metering
”We did a business case for the project, but already now the results have exceeded our expectations. If we continue to see these kinds of results, I expect us to recoup our investment in perhaps just half of the meters’ expected 16-year lifetime,”
- Erik Brender, project manager at AffaldVarme Aarhus
Operations optimisation and improved customer service with remote reading
"READy network reading has created great value – on both sides of the meter. Consumers get much better service and we get much more data to use for optimising our network."
- Anne Lyndorff, Team Leader, Assens Water Supply A/S
Danish utility digitalises district heating
”Essentially, our investment in this new technology is about digitalising the district heating supply, and the acquisition of the remotely read meters is the natural next step for our district heating area”
- Lasse P.N. Olsen, Chairman of the Board at Aalborg Energy Group

Digitalisation – buzz or business?
The continued development of district heating calls for digitalization of everything,
from technologies to workflows and analysis tools to support utilities in their
work tasks and decisions - but can digitalization deliver what it promises?
The new energy reality
Today’s energy challenges call for smarter and more energy
efficient cities focusing on sustainable resource utilisation.
Shifting focus and raising the bar
The integration of renewables and waste heat requires intelligent cross-sector
energy systems. The intelligent and integrated energy system focuses on high
energy efficiency in order to reduce energy waste.
The need for efficiency
Greater efficiency and better utilization of the capacity in the existing network
rather than expanding and upgrading pipelines represents considerable savings
for district heating utilities because it allows them to defer or completely avoid
investments in assets that tie up capital for many years to come.
Transparency is key
The prerequisite for high energy efficiency and the very foundation
of the green transition is transparency. Only the frequent data provided
by smart metering enables transparency.
Engaging the end user
Smart metering technology allows district heating utilities to target poor
user behavior and lets consumers take an active part in achieving
a sustainable energy future.
District heating in the future
Cutting-edge technology and increased digitalisation combined with the know-how
and ambitions of experienced industry players will drive district heating to the next level.
