We’re pleased to share that the Brent Cross Town heat network been awarded funding by the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF). The fund will support the delivery of the heat network and its supply of low carbon heating and cooling to up to 6,700 new homes and 3 million square feet of commercial space in north London. Alina Gheorghiu-Currie, Director of Heat Networks – London, commented, “We're pleased to be working with Related Argent and Barnet Council to deliver low carbon heating, hot water and cooling to the Brent Cross Town community, supporting local jobs and apprenticeships. “This much welcomed Green Heat Network Funding will enable the delivery of a low carbon heat network, supporting the overarching goal for Brent Cross Town to be carbon neutral by 2030."
We're delighted to have been awarded £14m funding from the Government's Green Heat Network Fund for Brent Cross Town's innovative district heating network. This vital construction and commercialisation funding will support the town's drive to achieve net zero carbon by 2030. Low carbon heat is being generated at Brent Cross Town through a fully electric energy centre, which will supply all 6,700 homes, as well as commercial and leisure buildings. André Gibbs, Executive Director at Related Argent: “The Green Heat Network Fund allocated to Brent Cross Town will help make our ambition to achieve low carbon district heating across the whole of the development a reality. When complete, Brent Cross Town will have one of the largest fully electric energy centres in Europe, developed in partnership with Vattenfall. This network points to the future of how the UK can provide clean energy to its towns and cities on the path to net zero.” Our thanks to the Government for its support for this project and we look forward to working with Vattenfall, Barnet Council and other partners to achieve our vision.
