ODSHERRED: Citizens in Odsherred have feared large bills from the scandal-hit Odsherred Forsyning. But now several are getting out of the agreement. This is reported by TV2 Øst.
This concerns parts of Asnæs, Vallekilde, Hørve and Fårevejle Kirkeby. District heating will not be established here, and therefore they are out of the project. This will save citizens from large bills from the utility company.
Odsherred Municipality has made a precise plan for which locations are covered by the cancellation.
In addition to the announcement that certain addresses will be exempt from the district heating scandal, Odsherred Forsyning informs that the reconstructors have submitted a request for postponement.
In the fall of 2021, Odsherred City Council gave the green light to a district heating project that was to supply five towns in the southern part of the municipality with district heating. The project was to cost 571 million kroner, but the costs gradually increased to 1.6 billion kroner. In March 2024, Odsherred Forsyning announced that the project had exceeded the budget and that it was being slowed down. This happened despite the fact that many citizens had terminated their natural gas agreements.
Odsherred Forsyning went into reconstruction in October 2024. This happened in the wake of negotiations between the two creditors, Odsherred Municipality and Nordea, not leading to anything. In February 2025, the restructurers announced that the heating price in Odsherred would increase by 68 percent.
A final clarification on what the future holds for the utility company, and how long the utility company's customers will have money to spend, is still pending. Initially, the two restructurers have asked for the case to be postponed for two months, and they have the opportunity to do so once more before a plan for the utility company's future must necessarily be presented.
The two restructurers in the company are Anders Hoffmann Kønigsfeldt, who has been appointed by the main creditor, Nordea, and the other is Christian Jul Madsen, who has been appointed by Odsherred Municipality.
