Powering Coventry 
with Recovered Heat

Coventry’s district energy network harnesses waste heat from the city’s Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility - a strong partnership held with Coventry City Council, where Bring Energy operates as the heat shipper and supplier, delivering reliable, low-carbon energy across the city centre.

Snapshot

  • Supplying low carbon energy in partnership with Coventry City Council

  • 20% less emissions

    Our network is contributing towards the 20% cut in fossil fuel emissions forecast for Coventry University¹

  • Over 14 tonnes

    Since the scheme opened in 2013 we have saved over 14,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions²

  • 12.6 km

    of underground pipework³

Expansion Planned for Coventry Heat Network

The Coventry network is expanding rapidly to meet growing demand from new customers, including major civic, university and commercial buildings. Supported by a £7 million Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) award, the next phase of growth will extend the network to additional city-centre sites and the university campus.

Maximising Efficiency Through Waste Heat

By fully utilising waste heat available from the EfW plant, future connections will be delivered with minimal investment in new heat generation — requiring only extensions to the buried network. This approach maximises efficiency while reducing capital costs and emissions.
