Description: The project seeks to identify the potential to expand the existing Barkantine district heating facility.

The project will include updating the heat mapping undertaken for the area, analyse the potential future energy demands and investigate the technological and financial feasibility for delivery of an expansion of energy centre and pipework. The project will incorporate three distinct phases: • heat mapping and energy masterplanning • the initial techno-economic assessment of expansion options • detailed techno-economic assessment of recommended option The Barkantine heat network currently serves approximately 700 residential units, school, leisure facility and commercial units and has been successfully supplying low cost, low carbon heat and electricity for over 15 years.

The project will ultimately provide a recommendation to the Council on the most appropriate expansion option for the Barkantine heat network.
