EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
We are trying to find out where the Network should run by collecting these non-committing ‘expressions of interest’. You can find the form here . . . https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoRARZh_ean_tQpNmMYCKPts-zSCX0ZLOeRlR0Mj5pICDT6g/viewform?usp=sf_link

BISHOP’S CASTLE HEAT NETWORK ROUTE
The graphic below illustrates an example of the route that the Heat Network will take in Bishop’s Castle.
The network route has not yet been finalised and will be dependent upon ‘Expressions of Interest’ which will be circulated soon.
Bishop’s Castle carbon footprint: why we need this project
The average Carbon Footprint per household in Bishop’s Castle is about 9% higher than the national average. However, other markers: Consumption, Food and Waste are considerably lower. The stand-out difference is seen in the graph at the link below where energy use in Bishop’s Castle’s homes is 45% higher than the national average. The reason for this is that Bishop’s Castle is not on the Gas Grid and the majority of homes have to use oil, wood and even coal for their heating and hot water. Combined with this is the fact that the Town has many old and hard-to-heat homes that are not suitable for Heat Pumps. This project is the best way to enable more affordable and sustainable energy for Bishop’s Castle.
