The implementation of a district heating and/or cooling scheme (referred to as a District Energy System (DES)) is one of the opportunities available for the Central City rebuild following the Christchurch earthquakes.
Expressions of Interest for building a DES were sought and closed on 6 September 2011.
The Christchurch Agency for Energy (CAfE) invited Expressions of Interest on the feasibility of a DES from the following perspectives:
1. Technical feasibility
2. Social, Environmental, Economic and Political feasibility
3. Investment and Ownership feasibility
Three separate feasibility studies were sought.
Requests for Proposal have been sent to those who have expressed interest and an announcement is expected later in 2011.
