District heating isn’t new. Energy Superloops are.

Energy Superloops are fifth-generation ambient heat networks designed to make large-scale heat decarbonisation easier, cheaper and more practical for developers, landlords, Local Authorities, tenants and homeowners.

By combining data centre waste heat, networked ground source heat pumps, renewable power and ultra-fast fibre, Energy Superloops can deliver lower energy bills, slash local carbon emissions, improve air quality and deliver long-term resilience.

Our joined-up model works for new build and retrofit projects.

Growth zones, large development sites and New Towns

For developments of 500+ homes, Energy Superloops can provide low-carbon heat, ultra-fast fibre and potentially power infrastructure without adding complexity to the construction programme. The model can be turnkey or integrated into existing development plans.

Key benefits

  • Fully funded or partner-funded infrastructure options
  • Lower electricity demand than air source heat pump-led schemes
  • Supports Future Homes Standard readiness
  • Heat for homes, schools, pools and community assets
  • No noisy external ASHP units
  • Supports planning and sustainability goals

Existing towns, suburbs and villages

Energy Superloops can help retrofit existing communities by bringing low-carbon heat to homes as a street-level utility. This reduces the need for individual properties to install standalone ground arrays and makes heat pump adoption possible at much greater scale.

Key benefits

  • Helps solve retrofit at community scale
  • Suitable for many more homes than standalone GSHPs
  • Lower bills compared with gas
  • Reduced carbon emissions and improved air quality
  • Homeowners can choose their own electricity supplier
  • Potential eligibility for Boiler Upgrade Scheme support

University campuses, science and business parks

For estates with land, heat demand and potential data centre opportunity, Energy Superloops can turn waste heat into a long-term asset. Our advanced heating networks can reduce heating costs, improve carbon performance and support sustainability commitments.

Key benefits

  • Uses captured data centre heat instead of wasting it
  • Can reduce heating carbon emissions significantly
  • Supports large, mixed-use heat demand
  • Potential private wire opportunities case by case
  • Lower long-term maintenance costs
  • Supports future planning and ESG goals

Social housing landlords

Energy Superloops can help housing providers decarbonise stock, reduce tenant bills and prepare for future EPC and MEES requirements. Networked ground source heat pumps offer a long-life, low-maintenance retrofit pathway.

Key benefits

  • Helps social homes move toward EPC Band C or equivalent
  • Lower tenant heating bills
  • No external ASHP noise or visual impact
  • UK-based heat pump support
  • Long-life shared infrastructure
  • Strong resident satisfaction potential
