Castle Park Energy Centre

Status: Work commenced

Location: Castle Park, Bristol

Partner: Bristol City Council and Vital Energi

The Energy Centre, part of the Bristol Heat Network, will be delivered by Bristol City Council and Goram Homes in partnership with Vital Energi.

The 3MW water source heat pump will take water from the nearby floating harbour and use it to generate heat and hot water for local businesses and residents. Bristol’s heat network currently supplies over 1000 properties with low-carbon heat from a variety of sources across the city and continues to expand to new areas across the city.

Once the Energy Centre is complete, a mixed-use development will be built over it with construction due to begin in late 2021.
