Smart Energy Plan: Innovation Project 3
Caerau Mine Water Gas-to-District Heating Transition
• Transition gas consumers in the Upper Llynfi Valley to a low carbon district
heat network.• Identify barriers and opportunities to
extending the network
• Provide key learning to inform other
similar residential retrofit schemes.
• Understand:
• Successful consumer engagement
methods.
• Commercial considerations
• Consumers’ experiences
• Can mine water provide a
commercial heat resource?

Smart Energy Plan: Innovation Project 4
Affordable Urban Heat Networks
• Develop innovative construction methods, products and delivery mechanisms
to reduce costs and increase efficiencies associated with district heat networks
• Utilise resources such as ETI
Heat Infrastructure
Development project
• Consider aspects relevant to
extending from urban centres
to existing residential areas.
• Focus on overcoming barriers
to connecting existing homes
to heat networks
