The beauty of district heating is that it’s community-led. It’s locally owned so we have control over the production and the pricing and we’re not at the mercy of global events that affect electricity costs
Whereas electricity costs have rocketed to around 30p/kWh, district heating has remained low, currently clocking in at 7.5p/kWh.
