Municipal cooperations within Adven Group
Long-term partnerships together with local authorities
For over 50 years we have been part of the local society, providing district heating as a sole owner, co-owner with the municipality, or as a wholesale partner.
The advantages in cooperating with Adven
Utility asset owners, like municipalities, that partner up in their energy production have more opportunities to influence their energy production and the cost of it, through various cooperation models that may vary from wholesale and joint ventures up to full-scale partnership with reliable energy production, continuous asset management with investments as well as customer service.
By cooperating with us, municipalities experience the advantage of being part of a larger organization. Through the networks expansion we have a better chance of developing at the necessary pace and delivering district heating at a competitive price in the future as well.
In cooperation, we really are making difference in a world of change.

The cooperation with the municipality works very well. In the board we have constructive discussions on how we can jointly develop the company in the best way. Adven contributes with expertise in district heating and industrial collaborations, and Hofors’ municipality representatives contribute with knowledge of the local market and the needs and opportunities that exist there.

Growing sustainably in Estonia and Latvia
