London 2012:
District energy/CCHP the winning choice
In 2012, London will host the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, and when it
does, the Olympic Park and Stratford City development where the Games take place will be
served by trigenerated district heating, district cooling and power. Announced in July, Elyo, a
subsidiary of Suez Energy Services, was awarded the contract to build, finance and operate
two Energy Centres and the distribution network supplying these venues and the ‘legacy
communities’ that will develop after 2012. The Energy Centres will include a combined cooling, heating and power plant that will be equipped with biomass boilers using sustainable
biomass fuels and natural gas to generate the heat. These technologies will help Britain’s
Olympic Delivery Authority achieve a 20 percent reduction in carbon emissions.

WE NEED THE FACTS TO MAKE THE CASE.
IDEA Carbon Assessment Survey – August 2008
IDEA will be contacting member systems to collect data on annual fuel use, efficiency and system
configurations to assess the impact on the district energy industry of pending greenhouse gas
emissions legislation.
Your prompt participation is very important and greatly appreciated.
When IDEA calls, please respond. Because we need the facts to
make the case.
Questions? Contact Rob Thornton at (508) 366-9339, rob.idea@districtenergy.org.
