Decarbonisation Funding for Clapham Park Heat Network

Clapham Park receives £3.7 million in construction funding to decarbonise the existing Clapham Park District Heating Network.

Founding Member MTVH will receive the funding as part of the Clapham Park development. The regeneration project aims to create 4,000 new and refurbished homes (over 50% of which are affordable) and will empower the local community through improved community facilities, pedestrian and cycle routes, and 2 new public parks to provide a long-lasting impact on individuals and the local community.

This opportunity will help the Clapham Park District Heating Network expand from 569 homes, to a further 3,347 homes and 16 commercial customers. Three megawatts of high-efficiency air source heat pumps will decarbonise the network, alongside thermal storage and resilience capacity. These new technologies will be stored in a new energy centre, with decarbonisation works set to complete by the beginning of 2025.

The project will also support 257 new jobs and eight long-term apprentices.

This funding comes from a wider pot of £57 million, as part of the Government’s Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF). The projects benefiting from this funding will help 17,000 new homes and buildings, providing sustainable, low carbon heat to homes, commercials spaces and public buildings.

With expected savings of over 385,000 tonnes of CO2, these networks will help create vibrant, future-proofed communities, modernising urban areas for resilience, sustainability and future regulations.
