Would you like to visit Amagervaerket? The visit provides technical and professional insight into the production of district heating. It cannot be booked as an excursion – we offer a limited number of visits for educational institutions, relevant stakeholders, etc, and it is not currently possible for private groups to visit.
- Your visit begins with an introduction to the Amager power station and its role in the Copenhagen energy system.
- You will then get a guided tour of Amagerværket’s new power plant block, which is fired with sustainably certified biomass.
- The tour allows you to experience the many large and technical installations involved in the production of district heating and electricity.
- The tour ends at Amagerværket’s viewing platform, where you can enjoy a magnificent view over northern Amager, the Øresund strait and Copenhagen.
The visit takes two hours in all.
A visit to Amagerværket is not recommended if you have a fear of heights
We cannot recommend the tour for people with a fear of heights (acrophobia), as much of the route is on a grated floor, which you can see through.
