00:00A new £72 million communal heat network could provide low carbon
00:05heating for the National Theatre and other London landmarks near Waterloo.
00:10And the South Bank in central London.
00:12Under the plans, a water source heat pump
00:15will take heat from the River Thames
00:17and transport it through a network of underground...
00:20...pipes around the area, giving buildings the chance to switch to low carbon...
00:25...and heating without affecting their external appearance.
00:28Developer Himiko
00:30says the Waterloo and South Bank heat network will be locally operated...
00:35...to cut bills and reducing reliance on imported energy and supply chains.
00:40The government has awarded a £15 million grant to kick-start the project.
