Construction has begun on the extension of Leeds’ district heating network.
Leeds PIPES uses heat and energy recovered from non-recyclable waste to provide hot water to buildings across the city. The Recycling and Energy Recovery Facility (RERF) recovers energy from Leeds’ black bin waste and transmits it through the PIPES network.
Now this network is being expanded in a £7.4 million upgrade programme. This will add 2,500 metres to the network so more areas will begin to feel the benefits.
