New network installed to provide cheap green energy for Bristol

Bristol Heat Networks is to be expanded to help local businesses and houses access low carbon and sustainable forms of heat and energy.

The network now takes in a large part of the Temple and Redcliffe area and consists of a large underground network of pipes.

The first stage of the network already provides over 700 residents in social housing blocks around the city with low carbon and affordable heat for their homes.

Kye Dudd, cabinet member for energy, waste and regulatory services, said: “It's great to see the first lengths of pipe going into the ground. We know that energy networks make a big impact on our city’s use of carbon. By providing low carbon heat networks we are helping to make a big shift towards making sure the city is run on clean energy by 2050.

“We’re now engaging with businesses and housing developers to expand the network further across the city to give as many people as possible an opportunity to connect to this sustainable low carbon resource.”
