Powering Aberdeen efficiently, affordably and sustainably
Through our network of district low-carbon systems, Aberdeen Heat & Power supplies heat and hot water to public and private customers across the city. We use a mix of technologies, including combined heat and power (CHP), waste heat recovery, air source heat pumps, and conventional boilers.
CHP is an energy-efficient method that generates electricity and captures the resulting heat to serve individual buildings or entire neighbourhoods, increasing efficiency and cutting emissions. We meanwhile also currently recover waste heat from the Linx Ice Arena and the Torry Energy from Waste (EfW) plant, with future plans to extend this process to public buildings in Hazlehead, including the crematorium.
These approaches help us reduce reliance on fossil fuels, reduce our carbon footprint, and deliver affordable warmth citywide.
The timeline
Our energy-efficient network has been serving Aberdeen as a not-for-profit enterprise for more than 20 years, and we’re now helping the city meet key carbon targets.
The Torry network
The Aberdeen City Council Torry Heat Network is a major decarbonisation project that connects hundreds of homes and key community buildings to a sustainable district heating system. As part of Aberdeen’s broader net zero strategy, the network includes connections to the new Energy from Waste (EfW) facility, helping to turn residual waste into useful energy. With support from both local and national partners, the project delivers affordable warmth while reducing carbon emissions and tackling fuel poverty in one of the city’s priority areas.
If you live or operate a business in Torry you could connect to the network.
Recent projects
Aberdeen Heat & Power’s commitment to continually upgrading and extending our city-wide network is reflected in the depth and breadth of our projects.
Recent initiatives include the city centre New Market development, an expansion of our Kincorth and Craighill residential network, and a major upgrade to our Hazlehead Energy Centre.
