Biomass boilers for Bucks

Rural Energy has completed the installation of nine biomass heating systems as part of a £1.3mn project with Buckinghamshire County Council. Offering a combined annual saving of more than £30,000 on the authority’s energy bill, the nine biomass boilers will also generate a yearly income of £150,000 from the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme.

Phase one of the project comprised the installation of five stand-alone ‘Heat Pods’, incorporating four 199 kW and one 150 kW Herz Firematic boilers, into locations such as Buckinghamshire County Museum and Green Park, a management training centre. Phase two has seen the retrofit of three 100 kW and one 150 kW Herz Firematic boilers into existing plant rooms in a number of schools throughout the county.
