Power engine and generator there will be gas boilers to add resilience and three large thermal stores which will serve the dual purpose of releasing stored heat during peak times of demand and adding an interesting architectural landmark to the development.<\/p>\n<p>The project is being delivered for ThamesWey by Galliford Try.\u00a0 The mechanical and engineering consultants on the project are Hulley &amp; Kirkwood and Vital Energi have been working on the project since 2018 and recently won the contract to undertake the mechanical and electrical services installations.<\/p>\n<p>This energy centre will feed a new low temperature District Heating Network, delivering low-carbon heat to local buildings.\u00a0 In addition to delivering heat, the energy centre will also provide electricity via an 11kW network within central Woking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tags-social\">\n<div class=\"wrap tags-social__wrap\">\n<div class=\"tags-social__content\">\n<div class=\"tags-social__content-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/media\/press-releases\/?sector=21fa55fc-aebf-4d54-bf1a-343b415c2218\" class=\"tags-social__tag\">Government estate<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tags-social__content-right\"><span class=\"tags-social__social-title\">Share:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/media\/press-releases\/low-carbon-revolution-set-to-arrive-in-woking\/\" class=\"tags-social__social-link\" target=\"_blank\"> <span class=\"tags-social__icon font-ico-twitter\"><\/span> <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=http:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/media\/press-releases\/low-carbon-revolution-set-to-arrive-in-woking\/\" class=\"tags-social__social-link\" target=\"_blank\"> <span class=\"tags-social__icon font-ico-linkedin\"><\/span> <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalenergi.co.uk\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#be81dcd1dac783d6cacace849191c9c9c990c8d7cadfd2dbd0dbccd9d790ddd190cbd591d3dbdad7df91ceccdbcdcd93ccdbd2dbdfcddbcd91d2d1c993dddfccdcd1d093ccdbc8d1d2cbcad7d1d093cddbca93cad193dfccccd7c8db93d7d093c9d1d5d7d0d991\" class=\"tags-social__social-link\" target=\"_blank\"> <span class=\"tags-social__icon font-ico-envelope\"><\/span> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Low-Carbon Revolution Set to Arrive in Woking Vital Energi have been awarded a \u00a36.58m contract to deliver ThamesWey Energy\u2019s Woking Power Station project which will create a state-of-the-art Combined Heat &amp;
