In addition, allowance has been made for expansion of the service into even more sustainable technologies as they are developed.<\/p>\n<p>The new low carbon decentralised energy scheme is a part of the Growth Accelerator Model (GAM) agreement between <a href=\"https:\/\/edinburghstjames.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edinburgh St James<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.scot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scottish Government<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edinburgh.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City of Edinburgh Council<\/a>. The funding from this partnership is helping to regenerate the capital\u2019s east end, with Engie\u2019s recent deal the latest in a series of projects that have already benefitted the local community and city as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Engie has been working closely with Edinburgh St James since 2016 when it was appointed preferred bidder, to agree future sustainable energy proposals for the site.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the new partnership, Engie will design and fit out a basement energy centre and adopt the district heating and cooling network from Edinburgh St James and provide ongoing operation and maintenance, including lifecycle responsibility for the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Hart, managing director for Engies\u2019s Urban Energy business, said: \u201cThis hugely significant project will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/carbon-neutral-edinburgh\/65823\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transformational for the city of Edinburgh<\/a>.\u00a0 We have been involved in conversations surrounding the future of the scheme for several years so it\u2019s fantastic to have agreed our part in bringing it to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often, energy is an after-thought when it can bring remarkable benefits to a scheme of this size.\u00a0 The fantastic thing about Edinburgh St James is that they saw very early on, how important a factor this would play in the successful delivery of the scheme. It will also play a role in supporting City of Edinburgh\u2019s target of net zero carbon by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have several similar schemes across the country and our unparalleled expertise in district energy, coupled with our capabilities in construction and services, means we are ideally placed to deliver this important project.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Martin Perry, director of development at Edinburgh St James, commented: \u201cIt became clear from the outset that Engie\u2019s commitment to cost-savings in a low carbon environment aligned with ours, CEC and the Scottish Governments aspirations for our existing and future partners, residents and occupiers within the development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis deal marks another milestone on the road to completing this transformational project for Edinburgh. To have been fortunate enough to agree a partner of the quality of Egnie takes us another step closer to the project completion and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with one of the very best energy centre operators in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Kate Campbell,\u00a0housing, homelessness and fair work convener, the City of Edinburgh Council, said: \u201cWe have set an ambitious target of net zero carbon by 2030, so it\u2019s very welcome that the Edinburgh St James development has plans for a low carbon, energy efficient scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe energy centre, which will be delivered as part of the infrastructure agreement with the council, will provide homes and businesses at the site with affordable heat and encourage sustainability by generating power to be used elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Engie is anticipated to complete the low carbon decentralised energy scheme in late 2019. The retail component of Edinburgh St James is set to open in October 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engie has joined forces with Edinburgh St James, to operate a new low carbon decentralised energy scheme, worth \u00a390m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[693,430,673,279,714,831,639],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-66189","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-energy-news","7":"tag-climate-change","8":"tag-energy-efficiency","9":"tag-energy","10":"tag-environment","11":"tag-heating","12":"tag-hvac","13":"tag-procurement"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Engie wins \u00a390m low carbon decentralised energy scheme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Engie has joined forces with Edinburgh St James, the 1.7 million sq ft development, to operate a new low carbon decentralised energy scheme, worth \u00a390m\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/low-carbon-decentralised-energy\/66189\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Engie wins \u00a390m low carbon decentralised energy scheme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Engie has joined forces with Edinburgh St James, the 1.7 million sq ft development, to operate a new low carbon decentralised energy scheme, worth \u00a390m\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/low-carbon-decentralised-energy\/66189\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
