Riverside Heat Network

Providing critical infrastructure to bring local heat to local people in southeast London

We’re developing the Riverside Heat Network - a major piece of new energy infrastructure for southeast London. Our heat network will provide homes and businesses across Bexley and Greenwich with reliable heating, using local excess heat from Cory’s energy-from-waste facility.

Transforming waste into warmth

We’re working with Cory to capture excess heat from their Riverside energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities in Belvedere and use it to warm nearby homes and businesses – replacing the need to use fossil fuels.

It’s not our first time maximising the potential of recovered heat: our MEL heat network in Midlothian, Scotland is operational and will keep 3,500 households warm using heat from a nearby EfW facility from next year.

Discover how to connect

We’re working with building owners in areas such as Thamesmead and Abbey Wood on plans to connect to our heat network and decarbonise their buildings’ heat - from new-builds to older properties, housing to offices and public sector buildings.

Ensuring value for communities

Across our heat networks, we’re not only delivering heat – we’re driving social value.

From employing local people on our Brent Cross Town heat network in north London, to investing in the local supply chain around our projects in Bristol, we actively invest in the local communities we serve in. We’re creating a bespoke plan to invest in the local area around the Riverside Heat Network.
