Sustainable Energy in
The Triangle Region

The Triangle Region is organized as an association of six municipalities: Billund, Fredericia, Kolding, Middelfart, Vejen and Vejle. The Triangle Region has initiated an overall coordination of relevant climate initiatives in the municipalities to reduce energy consumption and environmental impacts in the Triangle Region.

There are currently no long-term strategic goals in the region. These are to be develop through ENNEREG and other projects. The Triangle Region has initiated an overall coordination of relevant climate initiatives in the municipalities to reduce energy consumption and environmental impacts in the Triangle Region.

The Triangle Region has only worked with these initiatives since 2008. This new cooperation is still under development and it is hoped that the ENNEREG project provide further inspiration on climate initiatives and cooperation.

The main goals of the Triangle Region are:

  • CO2 emissions reduced by more than 20% by 2020
  • use of fossil fuels reduced by 15% by 2025
  • proportion of renewable energy increased by at least 30% of energy consumption up to 2025
  • saving initiatives increased to 1.25% annually in 2020

About The Triangle Region

Triangle Region is located in the south east part of Jytland and west of the island Funen. It is a central region a short distance from Copenhagen (capital of Denmark) and Aarhus (the second largest city in Denmark), northern Denmark and the German border. It consists of the 6 municipalities, Billund, Fredericia, Kolding, Middelfart, Vejen and Vejle. Together (geographically), the municipalities forms a triangle, hence the name of the region. The region is characterized by both big cities with industries and many jobs and rural areas with a high concentration of animal and food production.

Kolding, Vejle and Fredericia are the biggest cities in the region where 42% of the inhabitants are located. The main concentration of jobs, education possibilities, culture and trade is also located in these cities.

The region has the third largest growth rate in Denmark after Copenhagen and Aarhus. Together with Aarhus and other cities on the eastcoast of Jytland, the Triangle Region forms a growth center of Denmark which will be the center of growth in Denmark, together with Copenhagen and the cities around capital.

Commercially, the region is characterized as an industrial and agriculture region. In the last couple of years (2009/10), the region has had more focus on innovation and development of new technologies, which has begun to switch the region to more innovative industries, with Lego as the most visible.

In the region, there is also a concentration of energy companies. The two largest energy companies operating in Denmark are located here; also Energinet.dk (which owns the transmission net for gas and electricity in Denmark) is located in the region.

Politically, the Triangle Region Denmark is formed as a voluntary association of the municipalities. The region itself does not have any authority. Nevertheless the region has made a common plan for development of the region, where the Triangle Region Denmark assists this development.

Energy in The Triangle Region

The Danish energy infrastructure is based on free competition, except from the distribution system. This means that pipelines for oil and gas and the infrastructure for electricity is owned by the state through Energinet.dk. Energinet.dk is responsible for providing the transmission of energy and the integration of wind energy into the Danish energy system.

In general, electricity production in Denmark is characterized with a few central power plants, a number of decentralized combined heat and power plants (CHP) and windtubines. The local supply companies buys electricity from the producers and sells it to the consumers. This is also the case in the Triangle Region.

The heat production is for 60% distributed by district heat systems (60.000 km pipelines), the rest is individual heat systems (oil and gas burners and renewables). The district heat mainly comes from CHP or heat plants. The production in Denmark is renewables (46,2%), natural gas (27,8%), coal (22%) and oil (3,8%).

In the Triangle Region, heat is mainly destributed by the transmission company, TVIS (Triangle heat transmission company I/S). They deliver heat to 55.000 households in the region through 80 km main pipelines. The heat comes from surplus heat from a local powerplant, a Shell refinery, industries and a waste incineration plant.

The heat is sold to the consumer through 8 local district heat companies.

Vision, Planned Activities & Goals

Triangle Area will contribute to:

  • use of fossil fuels reduced by 15% by 2025
  • proportion of renewable energy increased at least 30% of energy consumption up to 2025
  • saving initiatives increased to 1.25% annually in 2020
  • promotion projects to develop and promote sustainable energy

Triangle Region will focus on the consequences of climate change and integrate climate adaptation into future planning and administration.

Planned activities:

  • Focus on CO2 emissions for renovation for existing buildings
  • Planning for establishment of wind turbines, which can help to cover 30% of the energy consumption in 2020
  • Cooperate on the project “Energy step” (www.energystep.dk), that is developing local energy systems for future business potential
  • Promote the use of biomass for energy production

Goals:

  • CO2 emissions reduced by more than 20% by 2020
  • use of fossil fuels reduced by 15% by 2025
  • proportion of renewable energy increased by at least 30% of energy consumption up to 2025
  • saving initiatives increased to 1.25% annually in 2020

Regional Sustainable Energy Action Plan

For the region as a whole, the Triangle Region Denmark is a member of the Covenant of Mayors, through which it has developed a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP). This regional SEAP is based on the SEAPs of the individual municipalities. The actions are therefore mainly concentrated in the municipalities, except for a few crossborder actions such as promotion of the use of biomass in energy production (biogas from animal manure and waste) and planning for establishment of wind turbines. Crossborder action will be developed when appropriate.

Sustainable Energy Action Plans for the Cities

Each municipality in the Triangle Region has its own, or is developing its own, SEAP.

Strategy for future action in the ENNEREG regions

Experience from the ENNEREG Regions [EN] During the project, the ENNEREG partners have worked in the development of sustainable energy action plans (SEAP) in their represented regions and in the promotion of sustainable energy projects (SEP). The objective of this document is to present how they intend to continue their efforts after the end of the project, developing the activities planned in the regional SEAP and ensuring the attraction of the necessary resources to promote sustainable energy projects.

Some of the SEAPs defined with the support of the project have been approved by the respective administrations and others still need to be matured to be accepted at the regional level and to be implemented. Thus, the situation is not the same in every region, and the approach to work in sustainable energy is not the same either. This document summarizes the common as well as the specific aspects about how the regions expect to organize and carry on the work on sustainable energy in the next future.

Carpooling in rural areas, Triangle Region Denmark - ENNEREG Good practice in cooperation in transportation

[EN] The Triangle Region Denmark is implementing a carpooling solution in rural areas based on experiences and knowledge transfer from Vaxjö in Sweden. The carpooling solution was developed in a small village in Vaxjö with 500 inhabitants. The project was developed due to a family’s consideration of buying a second car. The carpooling is circled around a software solution that enables the users to see departure and arrival times for different trips, that is preprogrammed. Unlike other carpooling systems, this is a closed system where everybody knows each other and it gives the users peace of mind.

The carpooling solution is used by commuters, youngsters, and other people who need transport. The solution saves money, the users gets increased mobility, better social relations and at the same time there are less cars and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
