Dalkia has been appointed by the British Museum for the mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems of a new energy centre that will eliminate fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions by 1,700 tonnes annually. The scope includes civil engineering and a complete upgrade of energy infrastructure across three buildings.

The project replaces gas-fired boilers with an all-electric system featuring a 5.1MW air-source heat pump and a 7MW water-source heat pump. Construction of the energy centre commenced in autumn 2024, and overall completion is scheduled for 2029. The initiative is valued at £33 million.
