P5215 Barkantine District Heating Expansion Project

Contract Title: Barkantine District Heating Expansion Project - Contract Number P5215 The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH) is seeking expressions of interest from interested organisations for the above services. Description: The project seeks to identify the potential to expand the existing Barkantine district heating facility. The project will include updating the heat mapping undertaken for the area, analyse the potential future energy demands and investigate the technological and financial feasibility for delivery of an expansion of energy centre and pipework.

The project will incorporate three distinct phases:

• heat mapping and energy masterplanning • the initial techno-economic assessment of expansion options • detailed techno-economic assessment of recommended option

The Barkantine heat network currently serves approximately 700 residential units, school, leisure facility and commercial units and has been successfully supplying low cost, low carbon heat and electricity for over 15 years. The need for expansion is due to the high level of proposed development in the vicinity of the network and the desire to meet the energy requirements through low carbon, sustainable measures. The project will ultimately provide a recommendation to the Council on the most appropriate expansion option for the Barkantine heat network.
