Description

With circa 100,000 homes above or near to former mines in the West of England, the potential for heat from mines needs investigation. The principle for investing £1.66m of Green Recovery Fund (part of the MCA Investment Fund) was agreed at Committee in March 2023. Heat From Mines is an investigatory project funded by the MCA in partnership with SGC to scope out potential for an operational mine water heating scheme(s) in the region. We are looking for providers to conduct five detailed desktop studies concurrently from February to June 2025. These will be in the West of England Combined Authority Area which includes Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council and Bath & North East Somerset Council . The specific locations that the detailed desktop studies will be required to focus on will be determined by the project working group in January 2025 and specified in the full procurement phase from mid/late January 2025. Decisions will have been made by consideration of the output…
