This design study was undertaken by Parsons Brinckerhoff for a district heating network supplying heat to the South West Exeter development area from the Viridor EfW plant, with top up heat from a dedicated gas boiler energy centre (DHEC). The report concludes that a DH network serving the SW Exeter and Matford Park development areas with heat from the Marsh Barton EfW facility and top-up supply from a dedicated energy centre is technically viable.
