More than half of the customers of Skærbækværket, located near Fredericia, Denmark, have had their heating restored following an outage that occurred earlier today. According to a press release from the energy company Ewii, the outage was due to a failure at the plant, which supplies surplus heat to the district heating network affecting several municipalities including Fredericia, Kolding, and Vejle.

The malfunction impacted a significant number of Ewii's 36,900 district heating customers in the Triangle area, causing varying degrees of heating loss. The company has been actively working on restoring heat to all affected customers, particularly in the cities of Kolding and Fredericia, where the outages were most concentrated. This incident highlights the vulnerability of district heating systems when faced with technical failures.

Ewii has assured customers that they are making progress in reinstating stable heating services and are committed to resolving the issues as soon as possible. This situation reflects broader challenges in maintaining infrastructure reliability and the need for continuous improvements in energy supply systems to prevent such outages in the future.
