Project SWAN

Project SWAN, a collaboration between London Heritage Quarter, HEMIKO, Vital Energi, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Westminster City Council, aims to deliver one of UK’s first heat network zones.

The SWAN Heat Network will supply businesses and homes with low carbon heating and hot water. In summer 2024, following 5 years of government planning and significant engagement work by London Heritage Quarter, the SWAN Partnership began work on the heat network. The heat network will offer the lowest cost and least hassle route to decarbonise your heat and hot water.

The £1bn sustainable energy network will utilise low carbon sources like the River Thames and TfL ventilation shafts. Over time, this significant new investment is expected to save 75,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year, create 500 jobs, improve local air quality by reducing nitrogen oxides emissions by 99% and create 100 opportunities for UK businesses.
