Technical concept
Network topology, temperature regime, source configuration and plant siting, with hydraulic sanity checks and a phasing plan that matches how connections realistically arrive.
Area of expertise
Feasibility & pre-feasibility studies for thermal networks
Independent, data-backed assessment before you commit any budget. Our energy engineers tell you whether a network stands up technically, financially and legally, and exactly what it would take to build it.
What to expect
- Deliverable
- Decision-ready report
- Best used
- Before capital release
Most thermal network projects die at the business case, not the engineering
Real data, not assumptions
We model from your building stock, consumption data and local energy sources, so the numbers your board and lenders see are defensible.
Right-sized from day one
Accurate demand and cost analysis means the scheme is scoped correctly, avoiding costly delays or over-built infrastructure.
Fully independent advice
No ties to any equipment supplier or EPC contractor. Our recommendation on source mix, phasing and scheme size carries zero commercial bias.
4-step workflow
A rigorous, engineering-first sequence designed to take your district energy project from blank canvas to constructible, tender-ready reality.
Scoping call
We agree the perimeter, the decision the study must support and the data you already hold.
Baseline build
Building stock, demand profiles, available sources and existing infrastructure are modelled.
Variant comparison
Three to five credible schemes are costed side by side against the same criteria.
Report & defence
You get the report, the model, and the engineer in the room when it is challenged.
What the study delivers
Everything it takes to design a tender-winning project
Financial model
CAPEX and OPEX build-up, heat tariff scenarios, subsidy and grant eligibility, LCOH, payback and IRR — delivered as an open model you keep, not a locked PDF.
Carbon & compliance case
CO₂ savings against the counterfactual, alignment with local energy planning obligations, and the evidence pack regulators and funding bodies ask for.
Risk & sensitivity
What happens if connection rates land 20% low, if electricity prices move, if a key anchor load drops out — quantified, so the decision is made with eyes open.
We needed a solution that could support our design decisions and optimize projects from the ground up. We're finally able to do just that — saving time, improving accuracy, and ensuring we make the best possible impact with each project.
