E.ON and Australian real estate developer Lendlease have signed an agreement to build a pioneering low-carbon energy network for more than 6,000 new homes 🏠 and business properties 🏢 at Silvertown in east London. The 760,000 m² Silvertown site will be the UK’s first development of E.ON's pioneering ectogrid™ system, an energy sharing heat network based on heat pump technology that, once complete, will save approximately 4,000 tonnes of CO2 a year – 88 percent lower emissions than from traditional gas boilers. The core principle of ectogrid™ is to provide heating and cooling by first using existing energy sources available locally, such as air, water or ground. Each connected building sends excess heating or cooling to other buildings as needed, and by sharing, balancing, and storing energy in rotation, ectogrid™ uses all available energy before adding any ‘new’ energy, drastically reducing consumption, costs and environmental impact 🌍.

Our Highways Lighting Team will be more than happy to assist in the design of any external lighting.
The intelligent way to build: Closed loops or at least minimize the supply from outside.
Well done! An impressive and innovative project of sharing energy between users of cooling and heating, utilizing heat pump technology.
We are located in Sector 11: Building 9 Old Folks Street: Do not bombard the mailbox as yet.
Impressive!
