Decentralised Energy for London 

Set-up with €3.3m funding, 90% of which was secured from the European Investment Bank’s ELENA facility, the Mayor’s Decentralised Energy for London programme will provide London boroughs and other project sponsors with technical, financial and commercial assistance to develop and bring decentralised energy projects to market.

The Decentralised Energy for London programme represents the next logical step in the Mayor’s vision to accelerate decentralised energy uptake: providing assistance for commercialisation of large decentralised energy projects. The programme will predominantly look at district heating schemes supplied from combined heat and power (CHP) and sources of waste heat. It aims to facilitate over £95m of decentralised energy projects before summer 2014.
