Heating

Work began in October 2020 to install one of the country’s most innovative and sustainable heating systems – helping to reduce fuel poverty in the area.

The £6m system will provide an instant supply of heat and hot water using a metered system that ensures residents and businesses only pay for the energy they use. The system has been designed to be considerably more efficient than conventional heating and should significantly reduce energy bills in the near future.

Initially 50 homes and Clyde Gateway’s new EastWorks offices will be connected to the district heating network with plans to connect over 300 homes and commercial businesses over the coming years. It is a further phase in an investment programme which will eventually see the entire development area of South Dalmarnock and Shawfield area served by district heating from renewable sources.
