Support from the Energy Service enabled Anglesey County Council to change their heating system to a new heat pump solution.
Summary
The Isle of Anglesey Council secured a £1 million Low Carbon Heat Grant (LCHG) to replace gas-fired boilers at its main offices in Llangefni with a two-stage heat pump solution, water source followed by air source. The Energy Service assessed the LCHG project, which will provide 100% of the heating and hot water demand for the Council’s office building.
Measures
- 2 x 500 kW heat pumps, with 1 MW thermal capacity.
- Air handling unit upgrades.
- Electrical distribution board installed.
- Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof.
- Solar carports and battery storage planned (funded separately).
Impacts
- 8,100 tonnes CO2e saved over project lifetime.
The Energy Service was critical in helping us secure the Low Carbon Heat Grant, which enabled us to replace the old gas-fired boilers in our Llangefni offices with energy efficient, low carbon heat pumps. Anglesey is proud of its efforts to reduce the carbon emissions of our buildings and is leading the way in trialling new and emerging energy-efficiency technologies. The new heat pumps build on these efforts, as they’re expected to save over 8,000 tonnes of CO2e over the lifetime of the heating systems.
