Clyde Mission: energy masterplan

This masterplan will support the strategic development of low carbon heat and energy infrastructure projects that align to the goals of the Clyde Mission. It aims to support the identification and development of a portfolio of heat and energy related investment opportunities in within the CM area.


Appendix B: Heat demand clusters

Clusters are presented in geographical groups – these are the same geographical groups in which the stakeholder-proposed projects exist which have been expanded to include surrounding heat demand clusters.

  • Area 1. The mouth of the River Clyde where it joins the Firth of Clyde, including the west-most bank of Argyll and Bute and a portion of the north bank of Inverclyde.
  • Area 2. The widest point of the River Clyde, including the south bank of Argyll and Bute, and the north bank of Inverclyde
  • Area 3. The mid-section of the Energy Masterplan area, covering the south bank of West Dunbartonshire, the north bank of Renfrewshire, and a portion of the north and south banks of Glasgow City
  • Area 4. The beginning of the Energy Masterplan area, including the rest of the north and south banks of Glasgow City and the north and south banks of South Lanarkshire
