UK and we have been contributing to their heat network for almost 30 years, so it\u2019s exciting to be involved in a network-wide survey to gain an in-depth understanding of the current state of the network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith some of the pipework having been in the ground for 50 years, the Nottingham Heat Network has been a great advertisement for decentralised energy and we\u2019re sure it has played a massive role in giving many other towns, cities and organisations the confidence to embrace district heating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-text-image rte\"
