Oldham Council is seeking a joint venture partner to deliver a low carbon district heat network project.
The network proposed is an expansion of the existing St Mary’s network, with an additional Energy Centre at Rhodes Bank that will utilise air source heat pump technology. The potential for additional heat sources such as sewer and minewater are currently being explored.
The potential district heat network will deliver heat to council, public, commercial and residential buildings in Oldham, including social housing. The network will deliver approximately 30 GWh/a of heat across Oldham, with potential expansion identified up to 60 GWh/a.
