The heat maps developed support the development of London Heat Map.
The individual Heat Map reports for the 19 boroughs have been posted online and can be downloaded www.londonheatmap.org.uk.
Identifying sustainable energy options for your area
15 February 2011: Local authorities are exploring opportunities and starting energy generation projects across the UK. With the right to sell electricity and set up energy companies, local authorities can earn money through financial incentives such as the feed-in tariffs and the renewable heat incentive. Renewable energy is an investment opportunity for local government. This Local Government Group publication highlights examples of councils and communities that are leading on energy generation. It explains what they did to start and fund energy projects and the benefits these projects have brought to their area and includes examples from Tower Hamlets, Islington and the City of London.
