Central Manchester
A decentralised energy network supplying heat and electricity to Manchester's Oxford Road Corridor, featuring a state-of-the-art Generation Hub with a hybrid energy solution.
About from company website
Manchester Energy Partnership Limited (MEPL) operates on cooperative principles, collaborating with stakeholders to decarbonise heat, manage local energy demand, reduce consumption, and drive down costs. Their flagship project, The OPEN, is a £35m+ decentralised energy network across 5 square kilometres of central Manchester, designed to supply heat and electricity to the Oxford Road Corridor. This network generates energy locally from an Energy Centre, distributing it via underground pipes and cables, contrasting with traditional central generation.
The OPEN aims to provide community-driven, locally generated, reduced-carbon heat and power, delivering maximum efficiency and economy with significant cost savings to commercial, residential, public sector, and educational off-takers. The project is a key contributor to Manchester's ambitious net-zero carbon economy target by 2038. The Generation Hub, located on Hathersage Road, will integrate a hybrid solution of established and renewable technologies, including Air Source Heat Pumps, efficient boilers, CHP technologies, thermal and electrical storage, and Solar PV Arrays, with flexibility for future technologies like geothermal energy and carbon capture.
MEPL was established in 2016 as a joint venture between Sustainable Energy Supplies Ltd and Electricity North-West (Construction and Maintenance) Limited. The company has worked with Electricity North West (ENWL) to develop The OPEN into a significant low-carbon infrastructure project. The project is supported by Manchester City Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), who are committed to its success in achieving Net Zero North West by 2038.
