NÜRNBERG / LÜLSFLED – After a fire, the large Franconian power plant had to be temporarily shut down. This also affected the district heating and sometimes even the hot water supply in the Nuremberg districts of Röthenbach and Gebersdorf.
With the current temperatures, with double-digit minus degrees at night, this is anything but pleasant for the around 15,000 residents and a remedy had to be found quickly.

The ÜZ Mainfranken also offered N-ERGIE their help and made their mobile heating center available. The so-called “hot mobile” has an output of 700 kW. Depending on the size and structure of the building, up to 100 residential units can be supplied with heat and hot water at the current temperatures.
There are times when it is simply a matter of sticking together! And the Franks stick together.

ÜZ Mainfranken is the partner for green energy and digital progress between Main and Steigerwald and supplies around 125,000 people in the districts of Schweinfurt, Haßberge, Kitzingen, Würzburg and Main-Spessart on a geographical area of around 1,000 km² (covered area 110 km² ) with electricity.

The ÜZ Mainfranken is a major employer in the region for qualified professions such as engineers, industrial clerks, automation technicians and surveying technicians. With a rate of 12%, the ÜZ trains young industrial clerks, automation technicians and surveying technicians themselves.
Of the annual investments of between EUR 6 and 8 million, the majority of the orders go to regional companies, thus securing additional jobs in the region. The annual downtime of only around 3 minutes per customer (compared to more than 20 minutes in Germany) proves the continuous investments in the power supply network and testifies to the highest level of security of supply.
