Six towns and cities to pilot clean heat networks

Six towns and cities have been selected to develop the country’s first heat network zones.
The selected places will now draw up plans to recycle excess heat – generated for example by data centres or from factories – to enable the heating of surrounding buildings.
The ground-breaking schemes in Leeds, Plymouth, Bristol, Stockport, Sheffield, and two in London will receive a share of nearly £6m of government funding to develop pilot plans.Construction is expected to start
