The Portman Estate is embarking on a detailed feasibility study into the development of a fifth-generation district energy network, connected to the London Chalk Aquifer. Supported by a Government grant, Buro Happold will undertake the study to determine the next steps for the design, commercialisation and construction of the network’s first phase. The ambition is for phased network expansion to decarbonise heat at a district level.
