Councils step up heat network plans

March 10, 2015 By Brendan Coyne Leave a Comment

Fifty five local councils in England and Wales will share £3 million in government funding towards setting up heat networks. The Department of Energy & Climate Change allocated the additional money to 74 low-carbon heat projects. The amount each project will receive varies between £16,000 and £263,000.

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Baroness Verma, was able to make the announcement at a conference about heat in Birmingham today.

She said:

“Low-carbon heat generation is on the rise in the UK and local authorities have an important role to play in maintaining this growth and driving forward innovation and progress in the heat industry.

“By working together communities have the power to deliver clean energy to local areas, reduce bills and create more green jobs.”

The news comes as a raft of local authorities step up plans to co-ordinate energy supplies for their tenants and buildings. Some local authorities may become energy suppliers in their own right, provided they can procure and manage the necessary services and systems.

District heating and combined heat and power are likely to play a substantial role in their plans.
