Nottingham’s Heating Network Expands | Nottingham News

Nottingham’s pioneering district heating network, the UK’s oldest and largest, is set for a major upgrade to meet future energy demands and climate goals. Powered since the 70s by steam from household waste at Eastcroft, it heats 5,000 homes and 100 businesses. With the government targeting 20% of UK domestic energy from district heating by 2050, Nottingham is expanding to areas like Broad Marsh and Trent Basin — supported by a new bridge for pipes and wires over the railway. While critics like the Civic Society fear visual damage to historic views, officials stress the network’s vital role in cutting emissions. This investment marks a crucial step toward a greener, more resilient energy future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
