An innovative new district heating network aimed at reducing energy costs has been switched on in the East End of Glasgow.
Clyde Gateway’s £9m development of EastWorks sees the retrofit of a former Gas Purifier Shed, preserving the Victorian industrial heritage of the area whilst encouraging businesses to invest and move to the modern office space. The development, delivered by Clark Contracts, is designed to be low carbon and promotes sustainability and wellbeing.
Eventually, the entire area of South Dalmarnock and Shawfield will be served by district heating from renewable energy sources., said: “The Scottish Government is supporting the deployment of heat networks in Scotland to help us meet climate change targets. Their efficiency can also help to reduce household bills.
Martin McKay, Chief Executive at Clyde Gateway, added: “Clyde Gateway is Scotland’s first Green Regeneration Innovation District and today marks another milestone in our journey to net zero.
