Heat networks featured on BBC Midlands
A recent segment with David Gregory-Kumar – alongside wider BBC News coverage – brought Bring Energy’s Coventry project with Coventry University to life, not just as infrastructure, but as something people are already using every day.
This phase connects 11 university buildings to low-carbon heat, cutting over 1,300 tonnes of carbon each year and supporting Coventry’s journey to net zero. But what stood out in the coverage was the people behind it – from the teams delivering the network to those at Coventry University now benefiting from it.
Mark Anderson, Concession Director for Birmingham and Coventry at Bring Energy, talked through how the system actually works in practice, alongside voices from the university, Michael Checkley CEnv MISEP and Selina Fletcher – showing what this transition looks like on the ground, not just on paper.
It’s a genuinely positive story, especially for heat networks: long-term infrastructure being delivered, partnerships working, and real progress being made – and it’s great to see that reflected across both regional broadcast and national coverage.
