The world’s leading conservation organisation, WWF-UK has connected its new UK HQ building (’The Living Plant Centre’) to Thameswey’s low carbon energy supply in Woking town centre.
Thameswey’s 1.3MWe Combined Heating and Power plant (CHP) supplies ’The Living Plant Centre’ via a private wire 11kV electricity network. The power supplied is also used to generate heating and cooling from the on-site Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP).
The building also receives some of its power from the 410 solar panels on the roof, with any surplus electricity generated that is not used on-site being fed back to Thameswey’s private wire network for distribution to Thameswey’s other customers.
