About
University of Cumbria awarded a contract to Sustainable Energy Limited for the detailed design of a replacement District Heating Network and Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant at its Lancaster campus.
The existing network was at the end of its economic life, with leaks costing circa £30k per annum and a growing risk of complete failure.
Following an options appraisal by Arup, the CHP option was selected over distributed gas boilers due to lifecycle benefits, a more attractive payback period, and eligibility for external funding.
The design will form the basis of contractor tender documentation, with a targeted project completion date of late September 2018.
The contract value is AUD 99,500.
