heat network

The new heat network funding will only support low carbon technologies, including heat pumps

Nearly 50,000 homes will benefit from major extensions of a community heat network

The funding will support three heat networks in London, Manchester and Cambridgeshire

The partnership will see waste collected, recycled into clean heat and delivered through pipes to warm homes and businesses

The UK Government is supporting the development of a heat network in Cardiff and a combined heat and power plant in Bridgend

A heat network, which could utilise energy from the river, could lead to significant reductions in consumer power costs and CO2 emissions, according to a report

Under the contract, Switch2 Energy will design, operate and maintain the district heating scheme, which will use high efficiency Combined Heat and Power (CHP) with the option to transition to alternative low carbon energy sources in the future

This funding will finance new infrastructure, including the creation of a large water-source heat pump which will produce clean heat from Bristol’s floating harbour

The heat network specialist will join Project Rewire-NW, which has won a share of £21 million of smart energy funding from UK Research and Innovation

They will be made more efficient and help deliver energy savings in two cities
