Summary
Even more homes and businesses in Sheffield could get their heat from renewable sources – if the go-ahead is given to expand a district heating network in Sheffield.
A multi-million-pound investment is planned by E.ON to double the size of its heating network in the Lower Don Valley, powered by a mixture of renewable energy from its biomass plant at Blackburn Meadows as well as capturing and reusing sources of waste heat around the city.
The energy company hopes to install another 10km of pipeline to connect even more customers in the city, and potentially tap new sources of low carbon heating, such as from local industry, that might otherwise go to waste.
