Innovative District Heating Solutions
Challoch energy was appointed as the Technical Adviser to the Caerau District Heating Project in March 2018 as part of a team led by Hitachi Europe, providing an independent industry-led review of the feasibility of using former mine workings as a geo-thermal heat source for a district heating network. The work include an assessment of the technical, economic and deliverability of the scheme.
The key deliverable comprised a techno-economic model testing a number of scenarios relating to the use of heat pumps giving a clear indication of which options would provide the best financial return to the connected users.
