The construction of the new Energiezentrale Mitte in Bietigheim-Bissingen has resulted in a modern energy generation facility with a strong commitment to sustainability. Implemented as an innovative iKWK concept featuring sector coupling, the facility integrates gas, electricity, heat, and cooling into a single comprehensive system. ENGIE Deutschland was responsible for the realization of the entire energy center and ensures a largely sustainable heat supply through the utilization of combined heat and power (CHP), heat pumps, and renewable energy sources.

Our services

ENGIE’s scope of services included the holistic realization of the energy center, encompassing the complete energy generation, storage, and distribution technology, as well as the electrical and safety systems. As part of an integrated overall concept, ENGIE implemented—among other things—combined heat and power (CHP) units, gas and electric boilers, heat pumps, chillers, solar absorbers, large-volume buffer storage tanks, and the entire medium- and low-voltage electrical infrastructure. This was complemented by the complete building heating distribution system, hazard detection and alarm systems, and a high-level plant control system, including all field devices.

The energy center was holistically planned and implemented by ENGIE to optimally coordinate the various generation technologies and to ensure high efficiency and supply security. Through the intelligent coupling of gas, electricity, heat, and cooling—combined with a high share of renewable energies—a future-proof energy infrastructure has been created that supports sustainable operations over the long term and ensures an efficient heat supply for industrial and commercial sectors.
