Where we are
Our team is based in Bristol, London and Scotland and is working on projects across the UK.
Bristol
In 2023, Vattenfall Heat UK acquired Bristol Heat Networks Ltd. and is working with Bristol City Leap - a trailblazing large-scale, multi-pronged initiative aimed at achieving carbon neutrality for the city's energy infrastructure by 2030.

We are working with Related Argent and Barnet Council in London to design and operate a new heat network for one of Europe’s largest redevelopments - Brent Cross Town.
With Cory and the London Borough of Bexley, Vattenfall are developing a heat network designed to heat up to 25,000 homes and businesses over the next 10 years.
