ewb > Energiezentrale Forsthaus: VIP-Opening

The VIP-Opening ceremony of the Energiezentrale Forsthaus in Berne (SUI) was held on 22.03.2013 in presence of federal councillor Doris Leuthard.

The Energiezentrale Forsthaus in Berne (SUI) is a milestone on the way to a nuclear phase out. The new plant looks like a huge ship made of concrete and becomes gradually operational in mid-2012. In the beginning of 2013, it will take on full operation and guarantees as from then an even greater independence from other electricity suppliers by Energie Wasser Bern. This is made possible by the unique combination of a waste incineration plant (WIP), a wood-fired combined heat and power plant (WCHPP) as well as a gas and steam combined cycle power plant (CCPP). In addition a photovoltaic system on the roof of the plant produces certified green power.

Myriam Neuhaus was working as Head of Project Communication Energiezentrale Forsthaus and Besucherzentrum ewb. In this function she was responsible for the communication on the new production site Energiezentrale Forsthaus. In addition she was initiating and coordinating the project Besucherzentrum ewb, accompanied construction activity and established all operations concepts.
