What is an Energy Centre

At the heart of every District Energy scheme is an Energy Centre serving a range of buildings through a network of underground pipes and cables. In most District Energy schemes the Energy Centre includes CHP plant, which may be combined with absorption chilling (Tri-generation) where there is a cooling requirement. Schemes may also incorporate other low and zero carbon (LZC) technologies such as fuel cells, biomass, solar thermal, heat pumps and high efficiency gas-fired boilers.
