Vital Energi worked in collaboration with Manchester City Council to design and install the equipment.

"The Civic Quarter Heat Network will provide a highly efficient source of heat and power for some of Manchester’s most iconic buildings, acting as an enabler and facilitating a significant step towards the council’s goals of becoming carbon-neutral by 2038.

The new network technologies consist of a 2km district heating network and an energy centre containing a 3.3MWe CHP engine and two 12MW gas boilers that will generate energy for landmarks including Manchester Town Hall and Town Hall Extension, Central Library, Manchester Central Convention Centre, The Bridgewater Hall, Heron House and the Manchester Art Gallery." link
