Summary
Eight projects across England have been awarded a share of £68 million from the Green Heat Network Fund, in what the GHNF described as the most diverse mix of technologies to date.
£14.65 million to Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council for the Stockport district heat network
This project will use heat pumps to extract waste heat from a local sewer system. It is also benefitting by being part of the Advanced Zoning Programme run by DESNZ. With construction set to begin as early as 2026/27, the network, once complete, will support the ongoing regeneration and redevelopment of Stockport town centre and 87% of the initial network offtake will be from existing public sector buildings.
£9.8 million to Suffolk County Council for the Ipswich district heat network.
This heat network will harness heat from the River Gipping, and via a water source heat pump, will provide 35 GWh of heat to public and residential buildings across Ipswich, with the first buildings set to connect as early as 2028.
