The Bunhill Energy Centre
I went to the Bunhill Energy Centre as it was one of sites in Open House.
This centre provides enough heat and electricity for 700 homes.
We shall be seeing a lot more developments like this. I’ve always felt that small versions of the same system, using the same principles of a gas powered engine driving a generator, could be used to power and heat larger houses and small industrial premises. In fact Tomorrow’s World showed such a system based on a Fiat car engine in the 1980s.
We are just too conservative about how we generate electricity and heat.
Strangely, I met someone here, who was just a couple of years ahead of me at Minchenden.
