Facilitating the development of Heat Networks in BCP

As part of its overall objective of reducing its carbon footprint, BCP is looking to investigate the potential for heat network infrastructure in the area. An early feasibility study was completed in 2017 , focusing on an area known as Wessex Fields (consisting of the General Hospital and Business Park), with concept designs focused on gas-fired combined heat and power plants (CHP) as the primary heat source. Although the proposed solutions are no longer appropriate, the study demonstrated a networked solution is worth investigating further.
