Signed the contract for the connection of Hospital del Mar to DISTRICLIMA

On June the 20th , the supply contract between Districlima and the Consorci Mar Parc de Salut de Barcelona for the connection of Hospital del Mar to the urban heating and cooling network of Districlima was formalized, being this one the largest contract signed by Districlima up the date. Dr Olga Pané, Manager of the Consorci Mar Parc de Salut de Barcelona, and Mr David Serrano, Managing Director of Districlima, were the signatories of this new contract formalized at the Hospital installations.

This contract also involves obtaining a new concession area for Districlima in the city of Barcelona (the municipal resolution was obtained on the 10th May). After the concessions of the Besòs area and 22@ technology district, the new concession allows to connect this referral hospital center with a cooling power of 6.4 MW and heat power of 6 MW (about 14 and 9 GWh of annual consumption of cold and heat, respectively), which will reach 12 MW for each service throughout the contract period (until 2032).  More than 60,000 m2 of hospital uses will be air conditioned, including the expansion of the emergency area.

Commercial management of this client began just over 4 years ago and after a complex administrative management, the execution of the new network, almost 2 km long, is expected to begin before summer so that the service could be provided in the early 2017. The new network involves a work of high technical complexity as it runs under streets of high urban density.

This connection increases significantly the contracted power in Districlima, which this year 2016 will have a significant increase of more than 8 MW of heat and 13 MW cold.
