Why do we generate our electricity in remote areas of the UK and then transmit it wastefully hundreds of miles to where people live?

Dalkia is the European leader for providing technology to provide local heat and power to communities – currently we supply these services to 800 schemes covering networks totalling 8,000km. These plants, capable of generating heat and electricity for residential estates, business parks an campus communities provide a much greener and cost-effective means of delivering these essential utilities on a local basis and serve 5.7million homes and other buildings. In some cases this involves energy supply to complete towns and cities.

A key focus of our service is the reduction of cost for the communities we serve and a lowering of any environmental impact. See our Bio energy solutions pages for carbon neutral schemes that can drive down fuel poverty.

Design, build and operate and maintain

Investing in your own green energy plant needs long term vision and commitment, plus Dalkia to provide the necessary input expertise

Dalkia has many years experience in the field of energy plant development so we can design your scheme, project manage the build, then operate and maintain it – including managing the fuel supply. Where necessary we can also meter usage and bill customers accordingly. And we can finance the whole scheme on a mini-PFI arrangement and access grants on your behalf, where applicable. The scheme will be tailored for your application in terms of heat load, electricity requirement, project costs, investment and energy efficiency.
