Durham County Council in the UK has launched a tender notice seeking a private partner to supply low carbon heat from mine water to the Seaham Garden Village development. The site of the proposed Seaham Garden Village development is adjacent to the Coal Authority's Dawdon mine water treatment scheme.

The scheme pumps up to 150 liters of mine water per second to the surface for treatment which is warmed by geothermal processes to provide a continuous supply of water at 18 to 20°C. This water will be used to provide local space heating and hot water throughout the year for the Seaham Garden Village development. The concession period for the project is 40 years.

The deadline to submit the responses is December 17, 2021. For more information about this tender, visit our business opportunities page here.
