Heat Supply

In September 2020, the plant's owner and a thermal company instigated a plan to heat all of Haiyang city via heat exchange.[15] Two months later, 700,000 square meters of housing had been heated[16] and the project is en route for completion in its entirety in 2021. The switch to clean energy is expected to eliminate more than 60,000 tones of fossil fuel emissions[15] each year, and the corresponding reduction in air pollution is anticipated to save about 600 lives anually.[17]
