Following the publication of the Heat and Buildings Strategy, funding awards have been allocated to a suite of low carbon heat network projects.
Heat networks have been identified by the Government as a key technology and the Strategy placed particular emphasis on the use of heat pumps in the delivery of low carbon heat.
The announcement combines these two technologies across four projects. The variety of projects that have secured funding really demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility of heat pump technology when deployed in heat networks.
The successful heat network schemes announced all utilise heat pump technology and bring the total amount awarded via the Heat Networks Investment Project to over £250 million.
Ken Hunnisett, Triple Point Heat Networks Investment Management said: “The Heat and Buildings Strategy made clear that both heat networks and heat pumps are central to the Government’s decarbonisation efforts.
“So, it is fantastic to see so many schemes already stepping up to combine these solutions in such innovative ways to access heat under our feet, in the air around us, in our waterways and even within our sewerage system.
“Not only will these inspiring projects deliver carbon savings, but they prove that heat pump technology is adaptable and can contribute to a smarter, more flexible future energy system.”
Lord Callanan, Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy said: “Changing the way we heat our homes and workspaces is key to tackling pollution and today’s investment into new heat networks across Worthing, London, Bristol and Liverpool will ensure these areas are placed at the heart of the UK’s green industrial revolution.
“The new networks of air source heat pumps will deliver affordable, low-carbon heat and energy across the nation’s homes, universities residences, and business units, while opening up huge job and investment opportunities, making our thriving cities and seaside towns greener places to live, work, and visit.”
