In Bjerringbro is the Energy Museum, which was inaugurated in 1994, and now the contours of a new and transformed energy museum are beginning to take shape. That is, if the foundation behind the new energy museum can raise 300 million kroner for the project.
The foundation was founded by Norlys, the Danish Electricity Association, Siemens Energy and the Poul Due Jensen Foundation. As the landowner, Norlys has contributed the first 30 million to the pool and, together with the other founders, has become committed to the project. Norlys states this in a press release.
- The Energy Museum is built on the foundation of the history of Danish electricity supply at Tange Sø, where we already own the Gudenaa power plant and the surrounding land. We see the new energy museum as an important contribution to educating Danes, and not least children and young people, in energy and green transition, says Pia Wentzel, director of the executive secretariat at Norlys and board member of the foundation.
The green transition entails major changes in energy production and consumer behavior for the entire society and the individual Dane. At the same time, there will be a massive need for qualified labor within the energy sector, and this requires that interest be established at an early stage. It is hoped that the newly renovated museum can contribute to this.
The plan is for the new energy museum to be based on the existing buildings, where nothing is demolished and as much as possible is reused. The Energy Museum has already drawn up a plan for the renovation and modernization, which is ready to be implemented as soon as the financing is in place.
