A new energy centre in Wolverhampton will help provide more reliable, efficient heating and reduce energy costs for more than 1,000 residents across Heath Town.
Provided by United Infrastructure on behalf of City of Wolverhampton Council, the facility replaces an ageing boiler house, which was approaching the end of its serviceable life.
Alongside improvements to the estate’s wider heat network, the new centre will meet existing demand more efficiently and provide capacity to serve new homes as Heath Town grows.
The centre combines air source heat pumps, supplied by 48 roof-mounted evaporators, with supplementary hydrogen-ready boilers.
The innovative system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 500 tonnes a year, supporting the council’s ambitions for a greener community.
Councillor Steve Evans, Deputy Leader of City Housing and Assets at City of Wolverhampton Council, said: “We have delivered an energy centre that will provide long-term benefits for local people while helping us build a greener and more resilient neighbourhood.
“This comes in addition to the new homes people are enjoying and the existing residential blocks undergoing major improvements being delivered by Wolverhampton Homes.”
The project forms part of a £19.5 million investment in Heath Town’s heating network, supported by £7.5 million from the Government’s Heat Network Efficiency Scheme. The remaining funding comes from the council’s Housing Revenue Account Capital Programme.
