Salford firm gets in on low carbon Tower Hamlets scheme

SALFORD-based green energy company ENER-G has been selected to supply its low carbon combined heat and power (CHP) technology for phase two of the Leopold Estate housing scheme in Tower Hamlets, London.

The CHP system will serve 516 new homes in the second phase of development by Poplar Housing Association. In the first phase, ENER-G supplied a smaller unit, which is providing high efficiency heat and power to existing residents.

Ian Hopkins, group sales director of ENER-G Cogen International, said: “London is demonstrating strong leadership in decarbonising its energy supplies through increasing use of CHP with low emissions technology.

“We are proud to be playing our part in contributing to the capital’s green ambitions. Our technology has been used at Buckingham Palace for many years and across many other famous London buildings. This is one of a number of new projects we are supplying in the capital.”
