Plans Progress for Bradford's US$ 94.8 Million Heat Network Project
The University of Bradford and 1Energy have signed a 20-year deal to replace aging boilers.
The Bradford Energy Network (BEN) will feature approximately six miles of highly insulated underground piping to distribute heat to key locations like Bradford College, courts, and council buildings. Developed by 1Energy, a prominent UK low-carbon city heat network developer, the project has secured GBP 75 million (US$ 94.8 Million) in funding and commitments from three anchor customers for its heat pump-powered system.
The Bradford Energy Network will use air-source heat pumps to transfer heat from a new energy plant under construction on Thornton Road. Bradford Council received GBP 2 million (US$ 2.5 million) to connect City Hall to the network, covering 88% of the cost, with the remaining 12% funded through the Council’s Clean Air Zone initiative. Additional grants have been awarded to critical institutions:
-
Bradford College: £2.66 million (US$ 3.3 million)
-
HM Courts and Tribunals Service: £3.57 million (US$ 4.5 million)
-
University of Bradford: £6.5 million(US$ 8.2 million)
