Glenrothes Energy Network
Project Organisation:
Fife Council and RWE
Technology type(s):
Heat network using steam produced from a CHP (combined heat and power) biomass plant
Location:
Glenrothes, Fife
Grant value:
£8.559m
Completion date:
April 2019
Project description:
The heat network utilises steam produced from the RWE CHP biomass plant to provide heat to a range of customers including a theatre complex, 33 homes comprising very sheltered housing, 9 business units and Fife Council’s corporate headquarters.
The project demonstrates the potential of unused existing infrastructure for heat networks, with the heat output from the RWE Markinch Biomass plant repurposed for district heating. It also demonstrates how the relative strengths of the public and private sectors can be combined through partnering, in tackling climate change. Back up boilers help to cope with peak demand.
