Rookery South Energy Recovery Facility

8 August 2022

Located in a former brick clay extraction pit near Stewartby in Bedfordshire, the Rookery South Energy Recovery Facility provides a sustainable alternative to landfill and will now also provide waste heat to a new heat network. The low temperature hot water will be pumped to connected buildings via pre-insulated below ground pipework and heat interface units provided at the final connections.

The energy centre will be constructed in a modular style to facilitate future expansion for other anticipated developments in the area (potentially circa. 30MW total load). This modularity will also ensure the energy centre is suitable for adaptability to other low carbon technologies in the future. Up to 12,000 homes and non-domestic buildings could be connected to the scheme in the future.

This project was awarded £16.9m funding from the Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP).
