SWEP Signs Multiyear Contract with Kvitebjorn Varme AS to Advance Renewable Energy Ambitions in the Arctic DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., March 18, 2021

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SWEP, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), announced the signing of a multiyear contract with Kvitebjorn Varme AS, to supply Energy Transfer Stations (ETS) to advance the expansion of district heating from Tromso (Norway) based energy supplier.

Kvitebjorn Varme owns and operates the district heating network supplying district heating for residential heating, hot water and street heating for residents, buildings and streets in the city of Tromso.

The contract entails the delivery of 25-35 ETS units per year with the relationship extending beyond supply and delivery, as SWEP will continue to extend technical expertise to help ensure satisfactory performance of the ETSs in the district heating network in Tromso.

"Apart from a supplier of Energy Transfer Stations, we consider SWEP a technical resource whose advice and support regarding design and operation of energy transfer stations we appreciate," said Geir Magne Olsen, CCO and Head of Sales and Development for Kvitebjorn Varme.

Kvitebjorn Varme delivers more than 150 GWh of thermal energy annually, dominated by utilization of excess heat from waste incineration and the vast remainder from biofuels and electricity. Hot water is distributed through a network of underground pipes from central heating plants to the end customers. The ambition is that 96% of all district heating in Tromso will be produced by renewable energy sources by 2023, with the remaining 4% being generated by electricity.

SWEP began working with Kvitebjorn Varme in 2017 when the new energy recovery plant in Skattora was put into operations. As the expansion of the distribution network grows, SWEP systems will continue to supply ETS for several years using SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers and technological know-how after recently signing a new contract with Kvitebjorn Varme.
