Opportunities in your area

The Community Energy Heat Maps can help you to identify opportunities for community heating in your area. The maps represent the "heat demand density", that is the demand for heat from homes, public sector and commercial buildings, for every postcode area in the UK.

Community heating is likely to be the best option for any postcode area which is shaded. Areas shaded in red or pink have the greatest potential for community heating networks.

Click a region on the map to access heat maps for your area, or follow the links below:

• Scotland
• Wales
• Northern Ireland
• South East
• South West
• London
• North West
• North East
• West Midlands
• East Midlands
• East of England
• Yorkshire & The Humber

The Heat Maps were developed in conjunction with a report into "The Potential for Community Heating in the UK". This report has since been revised in November 2003. Click here to download the revised report.
