E.ON has announced plans to work with Notting Hill housing association and Countryside Properties to help deliver a low carbon community of 335 new build homes being developed as part of the regeneration of Barham Park estate in Sudbury, London Borough of Brent.
E.ON’s Sustainable Energy business has signed an Energy Services Company (ESCO) commercial agreement which will see it manage and maintain the energy supply for the new homes currently under construction.
It will deliver heating and hot water supply through a community energy centre and district heating network, removing the reliance on individual gas boilers within each property.
Residents of the redeveloped Barham Park estate can expect savings of up to 25 per cent on lifetime heating and hot water costs. Whilst carbon emissions are expected to be reduced by approximately 25 per cent, compared to traditional gas heating thanks to the combined benefits of E.ON’s district heating system with the building fabric improvements made by Countryside Properties.
Jeremy Bungey, Head of Community Energy at E.ON, said: “We are delighted to be working with Notting Hill housing association and Countryside Properties to help transform Barham Park into a leading example of an energy efficient community.
“Joining forces with development partners across the country to deliver lower carbon heating and hot water to key UK regeneration schemes shows our commitment and crucial role in helping to make it as simple as possible for people to lead more sustainable lives.”
Rosemary Houseman, Head of Regeneration at Notting Hill housing association, said: “We are committed to making renewable energy integral to daily community life, and to create opportunities for significant cost savings for residents in the area.
“Working with E.ON on the Barham Park redevelopment is a key step in our efforts towards creating a more sustainable future for local people.”
