This is fantastic news for Priscilla and further cements our commitment to supporting our residents, local businesses and the whole community with employment, training and other opportunities. It’s just another example of how we’re able to achieve this. There are lots of pathways into work opportunities, and what we see here is just one of them. I’d urge residents to visit lbbd.gov.uk/working-together to access even more opportunities
Councillor Cameron Geddes, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Social Housing, said: “I’m pleased to see the expansion of B&D Energy’s district heating network is now well underway. This is another fantastic step in our journey to becoming the green capital of the capital and demonstrates our commitment to decarbonising the borough for the benefit of local people. Not only does this support our vision for a greener borough for all, but it will also mean residents can benefit all round from this excellent work.”
When completed, the £10m heat network will connect 15 different sites, over 8,000 homes and deliver 12,000 tonnes of carbon reduction per annum.* The heat network will be powered by a new energy centre which will house two 1.5MWe combined heat and power engines and 27MW of backup gas boilers which will provide added resilience as well as contributing during peak demand.
