New trial opens the door to low carbon heating
Newly installed zero-emission, smart heating systems could enable millions of small households to slash their carbon emissions.
The roll-out of UK Power Networks’ groundbreaking NeatHeat project is seeing new boiler systems trialled in 30 homes across London, the South East and the East of England - offering a low emissions solution for homes which may be unable to install a heat pump.
The OVO Energy customers participating could cut their emissions by 2.5 to 3 tonnes of CO2 a year, during the trial which runs for 12 months from when they sign up. That’s the equivalent to driving over halfway around the world in a diesel car.
With installations currently underway, NeatHeat will seek to understand how the tepeo’s Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB®) interacts with the electricity network. This will allow UK Power Networks to understand its charging pattern and test optimisation mechanisms that will provide flexibility to the local electricity network and use existing infrastructure in a smarter way.
