Wirral Council is moving forward with plans for the Birkenhead Heat Network, recommending a preferred supplier for the project following the procurement process. The network aims to provide efficient heating for existing and new homes and businesses, supported by Government funding.

Utilizing a Water Source Heat Pump, the network will harness waste heat from local industrial sources, significantly reducing carbon emissions. Once operational, it could save over 250,000 tonnes of carbon over its lifetime and will also serve various public institutions, including colleges and NHS bodies.
