District Cooling and the customers’ alternative cost.

Author(s) : Capital Cooling Energy Service AB

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This report has been elaborated in the RESCUE (Renewable Smart Cooling in Urban Europe) project. This IEE (Intelligent Energy Europe) co-funded project is scheduled from June 2012 to November 2014. It discusses the complexity of calculating the different cost items and the factors influencing them for both the customers’ alternative and for District Cooling (DC). The price range between different countries and different users of cooling is substantial depending on local differences. For example, a new 500 kW customer installation can differ between 45 and 140 EUR/MWh with a EU27 average at 81 EUR/MWh. A new investment installation cost a bit higher approximately 60 - 180 EUR/MWh (average 110 EUR/MWh), but the range is large. The energy cost is proportional to the energy demand but the capital cost in EUR/MWh depends very much on the energy demand. This report will describe DC from an economic perspective “What is District Cooling allowed to cost” and to evaluate the alternatives to DC.
