NEW LONDON AWARDS 2020

Winner in the ENVIRONMENTAL PRIZE and shortlisted in the MOVING category
Bunhill 2 Energy Centre is a world-first scheme that uses waste heat from the Tube to warm homes, leisure centres and a school in Islington, London.

Islington Council’s Bunhill 2 Energy Centre is the first scheme in the world to take waste heat from the London Underground train network and use it to provide lower cost, greener heat to local homes, businesses, schools and leisure centres. The project provides a blueprint for decarbonising heat in potential future schemes in London and around the world, reducing heating bills and carbon emissions while improving air quality and making cities more self-sufficient in energy to become zero carbon. Bunhill 2 is an extension of Bunhill Phase 1, forming the Bunhill Heat and Power Network (BHPN).
