Description
The Council has been successful in securing Public Sector Decarbonisation Funding to connect three buildings (Civic Offices, MK Central Library and Woughton Leisure Centre) up to a low carbon heat network (as per Standard Assessment Procedure 10.2) in Milton Keynes. This funding is required to be spent by March 2028. The funding for the connection element of this project is split to include plantroom designs for the three buildings in year 1 and then the remaining infrastructure costs split equally between years 2 and 3. The Council is conducting a market engagement to identify heat network suppliers in the Milton Keynes area who are able to provide low-carbon heat into our buildings by December 2027, with a long stop date of January 2028. The Council considers an ideal length of contract to be 10 years to provide security for the local authority. Please see Market Engagement documents for more information.
