Low carbon energy generation

What we do

A core service provided by Thameswey involves the design, build and operation of local energy centres which provide low carbon energy to the communities in which they serve. Thameswey Energy is an internationally recognised example of a publically owned Energy Services Company (ESCo) that was set up to deliver locally generated low carbon energy to its customers across the community.

How we do it

The energy centres built by Thameswey Energy generate both heat and electricity using very efficient combined heat and power (CHP) engines, which is then supplied using privately owned  electricity and heat distribution networks. Where possible Thameswey Energy also utilise renewable energy forms of generation such as photovolatics.

Where we do it

Established in July 1999, Thameswey Energy built its first combined heat and power energy centre in March 2001 to supply both electricity and heat to Woking Borough Council’s civic offices and surrounding businesses within Woking’s town centre.

Thameswey Energy also operate energy centres in Milton Keynes.  Low carbon electricity and heat is supplied to approximately 1,000 residential dwellings, a Sainsbury superstore and a number of retail outlets including restaurants such as Café Rouge and Gourmet Burger Kitchen along with a flagship office development.

How we can help you

Establishing a new ESCo venture requires several key considerations. Robust financial planning is required in conjunction with sound engineering expertise to ensure that the creation of the scheme is delivered on time and to budget.

Once established, Thameswey Energy can offer a fully integrated service to manage and serve the new domestic and business customers who receive energy from the energy centre. Information on each of these steps can be found using the links to the right.
