Pimlico and Whitehall Decentralised Energy
7 July 2011: DECC’s Carbon Management Plan (see Note 7 of press release linked) published yesterday, provides a brief update on an LDA project which involves the connection between the Whitehall and Pimlico district heating schemes in order to improve the operational efficiency of the two existing combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The Plan states that “The feasibility of linking to the Whitehall District Heating Scheme will be investigated if this Scheme is opened to new participants over the period of the Plan. An estimated cost for joining the scheme has been included in the planned projects below but it is not currently possible to estimate what the likely costs or savings would be.” £50,000 has been allocated by DECC to progress this action.
