Eight projects across England are set to receive a share of \u00a368 million from the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF).<\/h4>\n

The funding builds on more than \u00a3500 million already allocated by the GHNF. Combined, the fund expects these schemes to provide over 4.7 million tonnes worth of carbon savings across England.<\/p>\n

Stockport district heat network\u00a0will receive \u00a314.65 million in commercialisation and construction funding.<\/p>\n

With construction set to begin as early as 2026\/27, the heat network project will use heat pumps to extract waste heat from a local sewer system.<\/p>\n

1Energy has secured over \u00a317.6 million in funding, with the support of Milton Keynes City Council, for the Milton Keynes Energy Network (MKEN).<\/p>\n

Funding will go towards the design of the energy centre and heat network, with an aim to begin providing low-carbon heat to buildings in the city from 2028 using air source heat pump technology.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the announcement, Martin McCluskey, Minister for Energy Consumers, said: \u201cBy harnessing waste heat from rivers, sewers and data centres, these innovative projects can play a key role in our mission to reach clean power by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHeat networks provide low-carbon, low-cost heating systems of the future, boosting growth and supporting businesses and building owners for years to come, helping drive down their bills.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) is a multi-year, capital grant fund that opened to applicants in March 2022 and is anticipated to run to 2030.<\/p>\n

It provides support to organisations in the public, private, and third sectors in England, and only funds heat network projects where there is a low-carbon heat source.<\/p>\n
