Stadtwerke Riesa is further advancing the city's sustainable energy supply with the modernization of its combined heat and power plant on Bebelstraße. The project includes the installation of a modern heat pump system alongside a gas-fired boiler equipped with an innovative electrode boiler.

The aim is to make heat generation more efficient and climate-friendly. The electrode boiler enables electricity to be converted into heat whenever electricity prices are low, reducing the need for natural gas and significantly lowering CO₂ emissions.

By combining proven gas technology with forward-looking electric heat generation, the new system ensures flexible, cost-effective operation. At the same time, the project supports the regional energy transition and strengthens the long-term reliability of heat supply for the people of Riesa.
