E.ON to build low-carbon energy network to serve Silvertown

Energy group E.ON has joined forces with Lendlease to develop a low-carbon heat network across Silvertown, at the Royal Docks in Newham. The "ectogrid" system uses local energy sources such as air and water to facilitate an energy exchange where buildings contribute or draw heating and cooling as required, optimizing energy use across the network. The developers estimate that once operational, the network could cut CO2 emissions by about 4,000 tonnes annually, achieving an 88% reduction compared to traditional gas boilers. It will serve approximately 6,500 new homes and business units.
