The objective with this best practice is to provide environmentally friendly energy for heating, produced from local forest residues. It is also important that the pricing of the heat is competitive compared to fossil oil. The district heating network was established in January 1998 and consisted of a 1,5 MW boiler for biofuels with a 3 MW oil burner as backup. In 2004 another boiler for biofuels with the power of 1,5 MW was installed and the old boiler was rebuilt to be able to handle fuels with higher moisture content. Now the plant is fired with woodchips with a moisture content of 30-50%. The plant is normally operated from Växjo; via a remote monitoring system. The main stakeholders are VEAB, municipality owned ESCO and local house owners, factories and other that buy heat from the dh-network. There are 166 costumers connected to the dh-network and the amount of woodchips used is about 16 000 m3/year.
