Hospital to heat Camden homes

4 April 2011: The Royal Free Hospital in Camden will use a combined heat and power (CHP) network to supply 1,500 Camden Council homes in nearby estates with lower cost energy.The project, due to start at the end of the year, will provide around half the total amount needed for the homes, with surplus energy from a heating plant at the hospital being pumped into an energy centre, which Camden Council will build on one of its nearby estates.The rest of the energy needed by the residents will come from the energy centre, which will also be able to supply energy for heating and hot water if the system at the Royal Free is interrupted, such as for repairs and maintenance.
