Summary
One of London’s most high-profile regeneration zones is set to play a key role in decarbonising heat across the UK.
UK Power Networks’ trailblazing Heatropolis project aims to create a blueprint, showing how the decarbonisation of the King’s Cross heat network could scale up for millions of buildings across the country. It is being carried out in collaboration with energy management company Passiv and district energy network experts Metropolitan.
‘Heat networks’ use a single supply source to distribute heating to multiple buildings, and could make up over 18% of the UK’s heating supply by 2050. The King’s Cross heat network currently delivers heat and power to over 40 commercial buildings, including Google and Nike’s UK headquarters, a university and more than 2,400 residential units.
