Work begins on laying a heat network at Schoterhoek II. The heat source is the effluent – treated wastewater – of the Nieuwveen wastewater treatment plant, combined with aquifer thermal energy storage.
The industrial estate is developed entirely without gas. The businesses become joint owners of the network through a cooperative. On 17 September 2021 the name and logo of the heat network are unveiled.
Exactly fifty years after being connected to the mains gas network in 1970, Nieuwveen thereby takes its first step away from it again.
