Industrial electricity from wind and solar energy
Allow your industrial process to be driven sustainably by means of electrification using an e-boiler! Not only will you be reducing your CO2 and NOx emissions, you will also be saving on energy costs because the e-boiler replaces fossil fuel by wind- or solar-generated electricity at times when this is the more interesting option. The system works together with your current fossil fuel-driven installations to produce steam. You will even be eligible for a subsidy.

Being the frontrunner in the Dutch energy transition, Eneco helps you to make smarter, cleaner and more sustainable choices. And what's more, we have a lot of experience with a wide range of sustainable energy solutions. The electrode boiler, for instance, is the worry-free, sustainable alternative to a gas boiler that doesn't require large investments.Reduce CO₂ emissions up to 50%
Up to 10% savings on energy costs
Proven technology, low-maintenance
Eneco activates the e-boiler when the electricity price is favourable

Lower gas consumption results in a CO2 reduction of 1,260 tonnes/year.

Power-to-heat technology
By converting electricity into heat, the electrode boiler, supplied by Parat, uses one of the so-called ‘power-to-heat’ technologies. As soon as the e-boiler is switched on, the gas boiler will be turned off automatically. Because we are well-acquainted with wind and solar profiles and the electricity market, Eneco is able to determine for you when the e-boiler can best be switched on. That way you will benefit from steam at low cost.
Profit from the favourable SDE++ subsidy
An investment in an Eneco e-boiler is even more profitable with the SDE++ subsidy. As we have a lot of experience in successfully applying for SDE subsidies, we are more than happy to assist you with the application. Just leave it all to us.
Eneco's offer
If your steam requirement exceeds 5 MW and you use over 10,000 MWh of electricity, an e-boiler may well be a cost-saving addition to your current gas-fired installation. Do you wish a full-service solution for this or do you want to make the investment yourself?

From advice to operation
Our adviser will visit you to discuss your situation and requirements. The adviser will perform a quickscan and explain how an e-boiler works. Subsequently, you will receive a first general proposal.
We will conduct a feasibility assessment for you and you will receive a design of the installation including an offer. Any permits will be listed and applied for by us on your behalf.
If you are eligible for SDE++ subsidy, we will apply for it on your behalf. Our experience in these matters will increase the chances of the subsidy being granted to you.
Once the SDE++ subsidy has been granted, we will proceed with realisation. We will place the e-boiler while ensuring a proper integration in your existing system.
Eneco will take care of supplying green power and controlling the e-boiler. That way, you can rely on the e-boiler being activated at favourable moments. You can leave everything to us, including maintenance and 24/7 monitoring.
