Secchi Smith

The Barking Energy Centre powers the borough's district heating network, heating over 10,000 homes. This project is a key step towards borough-wide renewable energy use.

Supplying heat to over 10000 homes, The Barking Energy Centre (BEC) is a strategic response to the Council’s recent declaration of a Climate Emergency. Located at the edge of the borough, BEC is a highly visible landmark when entering Barking by road. By architecturally celebrating the building’s function, BEC becomes a landmark of the Low Carbon Energy Network and a signpost of the borough’s aspirations of becoming the Green Capital of the Capital
