A new district energy centre has been launched by ENGIE UK<\/a>, in partnership with Newcastle City Council<\/a>, boosting Newcastle\u2019s commitment to tackling climate change<\/h2>\n

The launch event saw the district energy centre \u2013 which forms part of a wider \u00a320m low carbon scheme within the City \u2013 further boosting Newcastle\u2019s commitment to tackling climate change<\/a> by saving more than 30,000 tonnes of carbon over 40 years.<\/p>\n

Energy schemes<\/h3>\n

The new centre will be the first of many innovative energy projects resulting from the Regenerate Newcastle Partnership<\/a>; a joint venture between ENGIE and Newcastle City Council, to develop and operate district energy schemes within the City over a 40-year term.<\/p>\n

Helix District Energy Centre is the first innovative scheme in a venture to develop District Energy in the Newcastle city boundaries as part of the Regenerate Newcastle Partnership.<\/p>\n

The facility on the flagship Newcastle Helix site, will use a 5km network of underground pipes to supply heating and cooling to 10 buildings and up to 450 homes on site.<\/p>\n

The centre has been made possible with funding from the European Regional Development Fund<\/a> (ERDF) and the Government\u2019s Local Growth Deal through the North East Local Enterprise Partnership.<\/p>\n

Using heat and power created through the use of low carbon and cost-effective energy solutions, including natural gas-fired CHP (Combined Heat and Power), the centre also generates chilled water and cooling facilities and electricity to neighbouring buildings.<\/p>\n

Zero-carbon city by 2030<\/h3>\n

Nicola Lovett, chief executive of ENGIE UK and Ireland, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be marking the completion of the new Helix Energy Centre, the first of what we hope will be many innovative low carbon energy projects delivered by our long-term partnership with Newcastle City Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith local authorities playing an increasingly key role in the drive to reduce the UK\u2019s carbon emissions, ENGIE is committed to using its expertise to support Newcastle with its climate goals and on its journey to becoming a zero-carbon city by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Forbes, lead councillor of Newcastle City Council, said: \u201cClimate change is the biggest threat to our planet so it\u2019s incumbent on all of us to do what we can to reduce our carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year we declared a climate change emergency and since then have set up a Climate Change Convention and are putting in place a range of measures to make the city carbon zero by 2030<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Councillor Forbes, who also chairs the council\u2019s Climate Change Committee, said: \u201cThe opening of the District Energy Centre is a significant boost to our climate change credentials and will provide affordable and sustainable heating to residents and cutting-edge businesses which are bringing high-quality jobs to the city.”<\/p>\n
