The CHP technology will enable the iconic Pan Peninsula development, next to London’s Canary Wharf, to generate its own heat and electricity on site, helping to reduce energy bills and shrink its carbon footprint.

Compared to a conventional electricity grid supply and condensing boiler, the CHP system is expected to cut emissions by 207 tonnes per year –equivalent to the environmental benefits of a 79 hectare forest, which is 11 times the total floor area of Pan Peninsula or the size of 110 Wembley stadium football pitches.

The CHP system is part of a mechanical and electrical installation programme being carried out by engineering company Haydon Mechanical & Electrical for Ballymore Properties.
