Summary
With the Templeborough Biomass Power Plant now generating clean, green electricity, plans are being put in place to harness the heat from the £150m development.
The Rotherham District Heating Network (RDHN) project aims to provide Rotherham town centre and key industrial energy-using areas of Rotherham with a low cost renewable choice for their heat source. It will take heat from the power plant, which uses renewable waste wood fuels as its energy source, to supply heating to public and private sector commercial, industrial and residential applications.
Consultants, Green Directions, has developed a proposal for the heat network and the project has a budget of over £16m based on a detailed engineering study commissioned from Atkins. The project has applied to the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for part of the funding.
