ENGIE has entered into a pioneering Joint Venture with Newcastle City Council (NCC) to develop and operate district energy schemes within the city over a 40-year term<\/h2>\n

The scope of services to be provided by ENGIE<\/a> will include design, build, operation and maintenance of district energy schemes as well as contributions to funding and a project development role in partnership with NCC.<\/p>\n

The initial district energy scheme to be delivered under the partnership is at the Newcastle Helix urban regeneration<\/a> scheme \u2013 a large scale, city-centre development by Newcastle City Council<\/a>, Newcastle University<\/a> and Legal & General<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This new \u00a320m district energy scheme is now under construction by ENGIE on behalf of the partnership. Using a low carbon and cost-effective energy solution, applying natural gas-fired CHP (Combined Heat and Power), the energy system will provide, via a network of pipes, all businesses and homes on the landmark scheme with affordable heat.<\/p>\n

Additionally, chilled water and a private wire electricity network will provide cooling and electricity to the non-residential customers.<\/p>\n

It has been calculated that over the 40-year contract period, ENGIE\u2019s energy centre will provide a carbon emission saving of 30,650 tonnes.<\/p>\n

As well as delivering the energy centre, ENGIE will also provide the partnership with a 40-year contract covering the comprehensive provision of maintenance, lifecycle replacement and metering and billing services.<\/p>\n

The site, the former Scottish & Newcastle Breweries site, which spans 24-acres, is being regenerated to create a major hub for scientific research and technology which, once complete, will create over 450 homes, half a million square feet of university, laboratory and office space; creating 4,000 new jobs in the region.<\/p>\n

Andrew Hart, Managing Director for ENGIE\u2019s Urban Energy business, said: \u201cThe partnership with Newcastle City Council is a paradigm of innovation and vision, so we are delighted to be on-board to help deliver sustainable energy<\/a> solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur unrivalled expertise in district energy, especially alongside Local Authorities, coupled with our capabilities in construction, means we have the perfect platform to offer a wide-ranging service, with long-lasting benefits for those within this forward-thinking City.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an example of how the private and public sector can work in partnership to deliver their ambitious district energy investment plans aligned with the Government heat strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The energy centre is expected to be operational from August 2019.<\/p>\n
