The Cottbus combined heat and power plant is located in the east of the city of Cottbus. The city has been investing in climate-friendly district heating since May 2019. Stadtwerke Cottbus has set itself the goal of making the district heating supply more climate-friendly and thus making a valuable contribution to the energy transition.
Using the latest technologies, the combined heat and power plant will produce electricity and heat with an efficiency of 90 percent, which is in line with modern standards.
The new building is located directly next to the old plant. In future, the heat will be stored in 15 large tanks in front of the power plant. An additional tank will ensure pressure equalization. The new storage tanks will ensure greater security and flexibility in the district heating supply.
Climate protection
The new combined heat and power plant is thus making an important contribution to climate protection and the energy transition in Germany. Stadtwerke Cottbus remains the market leader in the field of grid-based heat supply and is further expanding this position.
DOYMA supplied the sealing systems for this project.

Stadtwerke Cottbus HKW Heizkraftsgesellschaft Cottbus mbH was the client for these complex conversion measures. One structural challenge was the careful sealing of media pipes and the fresh concrete composite sealing against pressing water. For this purpose, DOYMA supplied Curaflex® and Curaflex Nova® sealing systems via Handelshof Cottbus GmbH from Finsterwalde-Massen, which were installed by the contractors Simic Deutschland GmbH from Düsseldorf and KSC Kraftwerks-Service Cottbus Anlagenbau GmbH from Cottbus.
