As the energy demand increases, this will be replaced with a permanent energy centre which will deliver low carbon heat and hot water to the growing community.<\/p>\n<p>The network will see approximately 1700m of underground district heating pipe and this will be extended to connect future blocks as they come online.<\/p>\n<p>Mersey Heat, the Energy Services Company (ESCo), will own the heat network which will contribute towards the UK Government\u2019s CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0targets and help to make Liverpool a greener place to live, work and visit.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of the network will deliver around 11 gigawatt hours of heat energy to people centred on the Liverpool waterfront around Princes Dock, Central Docks and Collingwood Dock to the north, funded by Mersey Catalyst Fund. The project has been developed by Peel Energy in association with district energy consultants Ener-Vate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rich-text-case-study__text rte__text\">\n<p class=\"rich-text-case-study__text

project. \u201cIt\u2019s the first phase of a ten-year development project which we hope will eventually supply around 9,000 homes and numerous businesses along Liverpool\u2019s waterfront and we\u2019re pleased to be able to provide a cost-effective low carbon offer that will benefit businesses, residents and the environment.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"quote__author\">Muir Miller , <span

this new contract will see us design, build, operate and maintain what we believe will be one of the UK\u2019s major heat networks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know Liverpool City Council has put a strong focus on reducing carbon emissions and the developers, Peel L&amp;P have a firm commitment to creating sustainable communities and by working collaboratively together we are now able to begin work on a significant addition to Liverpool\u2019s low-carbon ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"accordion__text small\">Works have already begun on site.\u00a0 50% of the initial district heating network has
