…% reduction in natural gas consumption across buildings that we own and operate by 2025 by switching gas-fired boilers for electrified heating systems. How will we do it? • Replace gas-fired boilers at Newton Abbot Leisure Centre, Forde House, and Teignmouth Lido with air source heat pumps under PSDS Phase 1; this will achieve a 76% reduction in natural gas consumption. • Submit…
… an application under PSDS Phase 4 to replace the gas-fired heating system with air source heat pump at Broadmeadow Sports centre should funding become available; this will support a business case working towards an 88% reduction in natural gas consumption. • Submit budget connection applications to Western Power Distribution and factor grid re- enforcement measures into decarbonisation business cases…
