Innovative district heat network in West London

project awarded

The project involves the design, deliver, fund and operate the new low carbon heat network, which will draw waste heat from local data centres, providing low-cost, low carbon energy to over 9,000 new homes and businesses in the Old Oak and Park Royal area, as well as existing buildings including Central Middlesex Hospital.The project will use waste heat from data centre cooling systems, a UK first, which positions London at the forefront of the UK’s transition to a low carbon. The first phase of OPDC’s heat network is to deliver up to 95GWh of heat a year, the equivalent of boiling around one billion kettles.
