Designed by C.F. Møller Architects, the Greenwich Peninsula Low Carbon Energy Centre houses technically advanced boilers and CHP that provide heat energy to the businesses and homes due to be built on the Peninsula in the coming years and is part of the Peninsula?s Sustainability Strategy.
Site Plan
The Energy Centre was a Response to a cross-party drive to increase the use of Combined Heat & Power (CHP) across the UK and to realize a vision of decentralized energy power generation in London. It is the largest new build residential heat network in Europe, saving over 20,000 tonnes of carbon every year.
