Two energy centres are planned to provide efficient power, heating and cooling systems for the Olympic Park and Stratford City development.

The centres will include biomass boilers and a combined cooling heat and power plant. Energy networks will distribute heat and cooling through 16km of pipework across the developments.

Simon Wright, ODA director of infrastructure and utilities, said: “The energy centres will be the heart of the utilities network in the Olympic Park.”

Jerome Tolot, SUEZ executive vice president in charge of energy services, said: “We are fully committed to developing an innovative and sustainable solution that will be recognised as a foremost example of utility delivery excellence, and achieve significant greenhouse emission reductions.”
