About
HOFOR is the Greater Copenhagen Utility supplying 1.1 million customers in the Copenhagen Metropolitan area with drinking water and disposal of wastewater alongside district heating, district cooling and supplying the town with gas. In addition, HOFOR climate proofs the metropolitan area against torrential downpours, erects wind turbines and owns the Amagerværket power station, which produces electricity and district heating. HOFOR’s vision is to create sustainable towns and cities, based on climate-friendly and environmentally-safe supply solutions. To counteract climate change, HOFOR is working to make the energy supply CO2-neutral and to reduce urban energy consumption through a variety of initiatives - from energy consultancy to the reconstruction of waterworks and power stations. On October 31, 2017 at the Amsterdam International Water Week 2017 in the Netherlands, Planning Director Brian Hansen, accepted the offer for membership into the Leading Utilities of the World network and received a 'Golden Tap' award for utility performance, representing the achievement of the highest level of utility service.
