B&NES Heat Network Feasibility Study

The MCA require an investigation into potential opportunities for heat networks in Northeast Somerset around the settlements of Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Peasedown St John, Paulton, and the surrounding villages.

The aim of the study is to identify heating, cooling, and power demand loads, and heat supply opportunities, for the purposes of heat network scheme development. The exercise will identify, evaluate, and prioritise potential heat network opportunities, and any potential schemes will be fully modelled to understand whether a heat network is technically and economically viable, with recommendations for potential phasing, timeline, key dependencies, and constraints.
