Det Gamle Elværk i Nørresundby
Midt i Nørresundby står en gammel og anderledes 75 meter høj flot skorsten. Den tilhører det gamle elværk i Nørresundby.
Nørresundby byråd besluttede den 15. februar 1911, at der skulle bygges et elværk i byen. I november 1911 var elværket færdigt, og der kunne tændes elektrisk lys for første gang i private hjem i Nørresundby.
Note: Det kan dog nævnes, at man allerede ved opførsel af Andelsslagteriet i 1891 også byggede en kraftstation til slagteriet med bl.a. elektricitetsproduktion.
I starten blev turbinerne drevet af gas maskiner, og der var ca. 200 bruger på el nettet i Nørresundby.
Med tiden kom der flere på el nettet, og i 1916 - samt i 1921 blev elværket udvidet med større dieselmotorer.
Den industrielle udvikling i Nørresundby og Aalborg på denne tid, resultere i at der flere steder i byen blev produceret mere strøm, end man havde brug for. Den blev sendt ud i de private hjem i Nørresundby.
El produktion i det Gamle Elværk lukket i 1957, MEN her slutter historien ikke.
Nørresundby byråd besluttede i januar 1958, at der skulle etableres fjernvarme i byen.
Da det Gamle Elværk på dette tidspunkt var tomt, blev det indvendigt bygget om til en oliefyret varmecentral, som kunne levere sin første varme i november 1958.
Da det var en nem, sikker og billig måde at skaffe opvarmning og varmt vand på, blev fjernvarmenettet udbygget, og snart var hele byen tilsluttet.
Da elværket i Aalborg, og senere også Cementfabrikken, kunne levere overskuds varme til opvarmning, blev Nørresundbys fjernvarme i 1979 tilsluttet Aalborgs fjernvarmenet.
Den oliefyrede varmecentral i det Gamle Elværk er nu sat i reserve.
Skorstenen.
Skorstenen har ikke altid set sådan ud, som den gør i dag.
Nye miljøkrav gjorde, at det var nødvendigt at reparere/nedbryde de øverste 15 meter, som var i dårlig stand.
Man påsatte et nyt muret ”hoved” efter tegninger fra en tilsvarende skorsten fra 1887.
Det murede hoved har dog fået indmuret initialerne for Nørresundby Fjernvarme

The old Power station in Nørresundby
In the middle of Nørresundby city is an old but beautiful 75 meters high chimney. It belongs to the old Power plant in Nørresundby.
On the 15 of February 1911, the Nørresundby City Council decided to build a power plant in the city.
The power plant was built and ready at November 1911 and then private homes in Nørresundby had electric lighting for the first time.
Note: When the cooperative build the slaughterhouse in town in 1891, they also built a power plant to supply, the slaughterhouse with electricity.
In the beginning it had turbines driven by gas engines and there were about 200 users of the electricity network in Nørresundby.
In time, more users were connected to the network and in 1916, and again in 1921, the power plant upgraded with bigger diesel engines.
The industrial revolution in Nørresundby and Aalborg resulted at that time did that in several places in the city were produced more power than they needed. It was sent into private homes in Nørresundby.
The electricity production in the old Power Plant stopped in 1957, BUT the story does not end here.
In January 1958, the Nørresundby City Council decided that they want to establish central heating in the city.
At that time, the old power plant was empty, so they built an oil-fired central heating facility, which would deliver its first heat in November 1958.
Due to it being an easy, safe and inexpensive way to provide heating and hot water, the central heating network expanded and soon the whole city was connected.
When the power plant in Aalborg city, and later also the Cement Factory, provided hot cooling water for heating, the Nørresundby central heating system was connected to Aalborg's central heating system in 1979.
Today the oil-fired heating central in the old power plant is set in the reserve.
The Chimney
The Chimney has not always looked like it does today.
New environmental requirements made it necessary to repair/break down the top by 15 meter, which part was in poor condition.
A new design top was made after drawings from a similar chimney from 1887.
The Top has, however, embedded the initials of Nørresundby Central heating.
