A new £1bn development in the London Docklands area will supply low-carbon energy to power 20,000 of the capital’s residents through the adoption of combined heat and power (CHP) technology. Due to begin operating at the 40-acre East London Royal Wharf site in August, the new cost-effective 1MWe CHP unit, operated by Veolia, will reduce NOx emissions to 95/nm3 and carbon emissions by 1,800 tonnes each year – equivalent to removing 1,400 cars from the road. The unit will capture and use heat to ensure that reliable electricity, heating and hot water is delivered locally to a new community in 3,385 modern homes and business.
