Details
Plymouth City Council has launched a procurement on 15/07/2025 for a Development Partner (DP) to develop and deliver a heat network(s) in the Plymouth's South Coast and Derriford zonal areas. Further details can be found on Find a Tender: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040135-2025?origin=Dashboard . Please note that bidders will need to register on https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/. Plymouth City Council have applied for government Green Heat Network Fund grant towards the new heat network costs, including commercialisation and construction costs. The remaining development and delivery funding will be provided by the appointed Development Partner. Plymouth City Council (PCC) has been creating the conditions for the roll out of heat networks for many years, including through strong planning policies, securing future-proofed developments, and development of catalyst schemes. Plymouth was selected by the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) as part of the Heat Network Zoning Pilot Programme and was subsequently shortlisted by DESNZ through its Advanced Zoning Programme (AZP), along with 18 other cities. Plymouth AZP analysis show a deliverable scheme in west and south of City with capital value of approximately £300m, and also at Derriford (an additional £50m). The southern area is based principally around two large waste heat sources; the South West Water Central Plant, and the Devonport Energy from Waste plant. At Derriford the scheme is focused around expanding the existing ground source scheme at Plymouth Marjon University, together with waste heat from the NHS medical waste incinerator to provide heating and cooling across this area.
