Revenue model
- District Heating Supply - Consumption Charges: Customers are charged based on heat energy consumed (measured in GJ or MWh), water volume transported through their system (m3), and fixed annual meter rental and service fees. The energy charge is based on the temperature differential between incoming and outgoing district heating water.
- Connection/Tie-In Fees: One-time connection fees for new customers joining the district heating network. In new areas, connection prices vary by property size and are either paid upfront or spread over 10 years as a conversion contribution. The loan scheme (now discontinued as of October 1, 2025) could cover up to 95% of connection costs.
- Fixed Capacity/Effektbidrag Charge: Annual fixed charge based on property size (BBR-registered floor area in m2) that covers costs for operation, maintenance, and development of the pipeline network and production facilities.

Fjernvarme Fyn product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Fjernvarme Fyn produces and distributes district heating (fjernvarme) by delivering hot water through an insulated underground pipeline network to more than 100,000 residential and commercial customers across Odense and surrounding Fyn municipalities in Denmark. Heat is generated from a diversified mix of waste-to-energy, biomass (straw and wood chips), industrial and datacenter waste heat via large heat pumps, and electric boilers, then supplied to connected properties for space heating and domestic hot water under regulated consumer tariffs. The company also offers connection services, energy advisory, the Watts On consumption-monitoring mobile app, and electronic heat meters with remote reading.
Product overview
Fjernvarme Fyn operates a unified district heating platform delivering heated water through an extensive underground pipe network to over 100,000 residential and commercial properties across Odense and surrounding areas. The core product is centralized heat production and distribution, supported by consumer-facing products including the Watts On mobile app for consumption monitoring, Kamstrup Multical electronic heat meters with remote reading, energy advisory services, and connection/installation offerings. The company also provides financing programs (now discontinued for new customers) to facilitate customer transitions to district heating.

Fjernvarme Fyn partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core, strategic and supporting.
- Meta (Facebook)coreFjernvarme Fyn's Tietgenbyen Varmecentral (44 MW heat pump) recovers excess heat from Meta's Odense data center. This is the world's first large-scale datacenter excess heat utilization for district heating. The cold water tank at the facility enables flexible heat pump operation: when electricity prices are high, the stored cold water reduces heat pump usage; when prices fall, excess heat is recovered without operational disruptions.
- Ejby Mølle Renseanlæg (Wastewater Treatment Plant)coreThe 20 MW Ejby Mølle Varmecentral heat pump utilizes treated wastewater as a heat source for district heating, representing a significant source of carbon-free surplus heat for the network.
- Royal Unibrew (Albani Brewery)coreRoyal Unibrew's Odense brewery supplies surplus heat from the brewing process to Fjernvarme Fyn's district heating network, displacing fossil fuels in heat production.
- DMI (Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut)coreSince 2021, Fjernvarme Fyn has used DMI's free weather data (hourly forecasts for 55 hours, updated every 3 hours) including wind direction, wind speed, solar radiation, humidity, and air temperature to train machine learning models that predict heat demand up to 10 days ahead. DMI's vicedirektør Ulrik Smith Korsholm has called Fjernvarme Fyn's use of DMI data 'a lesson in how weather data can be used for the green transition.'
- Fortum GroupstrategicErhvervsfremmebestyrelsen (The Danish Business Authority) has supported a joint CCUS (Carbon Capture Use and Storage) project between Fjernvarme Fyn and Fortum Group. Fjernvarme Fyn and Fortum are exploring CO2 capture and reuse/storage as part of the green transition.
- Novo Nordisk Fonden (Novo Nordisk Foundation)strategicFjernvarme Fyn collaborates with Novo Nordisk Fonden on the CO2idybden.dk (CO2 in Depth) knowledge platform, a forum providing accessible information about CO2 capture, transport, and storage based on official sources, research, and government input.
- EMD International A/SstrategicFjernvarme Fyn and EMD International A/S partnered to develop a new software package for electricity trading that strengthens the district heating industry domestically and internationally. Fjernvarme Fyn, EMD International, and EMD Fonden aim to strengthen the entire district heating branch with this new tool.
- KiMs, Glud & Marstrand, Mette Munk, Envases Europe, Tasso, Odense Krematorium, Energi FynsupportingVarious Fyn-based industrial companies supply surplus heat to Fjernvarme Fyn's district heating network, including snack manufacturer KiMs, metal packaging company Glud & Marstrand, medical device company Mette Munk, packaging company Envases Europe, logistics company Tasso, Odense Crematorium, and Energi Fyn (regulating power).
