Description

Project overview Karbon Homes is progressing the decarbonisation of the Byker District Heat Network in Newcastle upon Tyne, a Grade II* listed social housing estate of around 80 hectares, with more than 2,000 connected homes served by the Walker Road Energy Centre and twelve substations.
