Description

This contract is to identify opportunities for heat networks across Cherwell.
2.2 This is to include a high-level heat mapping and energy masterplan study of the whole district, with a more detailed study looking at the most promising opportunities.
2.3 The result of the high level study of the entire district will be used to identify the area for the more detailed focus. It is anticipated that this is likely to be the area of Banbury as a diverse existing heat demand and substantial planned growth is known to exist here. A number of heavy energy users located across the town in a number of semi-concentrated areas have already been identified who include; a plastic fabrication company a regional hospital. Banbury has growth of 48 ha2 and 7,106 houses planned, whilst significant additional housing is allocated in the Local Plan to Kidlington (4,400) and Upper Heyford (2,300), with the latter being 1 mile from an Energy from Waste (EfW) plant.
2.4 A low carbon heat network connecting energy users to each other and the new commercial and domestic developments could aid in unlocking both economic growth and combating fuel poverty by delivering cheaper energy bills to residents and businesses.
