Potential transfer sites

Could Your Site Store Europe’s Heat?

INTERSTORES is looking for potential transfer sites across Europe where seasonal Thermal Energy Storage solutions could be explored. Your unused infrastructure, available land, underground space or access to surplus heat could become part of the transition towards smarter, low-carbon heating. 

Two Storage Concepts. Many Possible Sites.

What is a Transfer Site?

A transfer site is a real European location where INTERSTORES can test its knowledge, methods, and storage concepts in another local context. The assessment helps understand technical relevance, replication potential and possible integration into local energy systems.

The wider purpose is to support technical, economic, spatial, legal and business analysis and help identify where sTES could be replicated across different sectors and European settings. 

What Happens If You Join?

We are particularly interested in sites with available land, repurposable infrastructure, and proximity to a heat or waste-heat source/demand. These characteristics come directly from the transfer-site criteria described in the documents.

IF you decide to join, the next steps we take together.

Explore the opportunity and keep your options open.

✓ No obligation to build
✓ No investment or commercial commitment
✓ No requirement to provide confidential information
✓ Information can be anonymised
