Exeter Energy Network:
Energy Centre Public Consultation
Consultation open: 11th July– 1st August 2024
Exeter Energy Ltd is developing a commercial heat network for the city centre of Exeter.
The Exeter Energy Network is a vital project which will provide low-to-zero carbon heating to large consumers of heat in the city. Exeter Energy are holding a set of public exhibitions in July 2024 to showcase the plans for the proposed Energy Centre.
By connecting to a centralised energy centre, buildings can remove the need for individual gas boilers, with their associated impacts on air quality. It’s a more efficient, and eco-friendly way of heating buildings and it is already used successfully in many countries around the world as well as other cities in the UK.
The public consultation on the Energy Centre is open from 11th July to 1st August 2024. Two public exhibitions are taking place on Thursday 11th July and Saturday 13th July 2024:
Thursday 11 July, 11am to 7pm
at Exeter Community Centre,
17 St David’s Hill, Exeter, EX4 3RG
Saturday 13 July, 10am to 2pm
at Exeter College Haven Banks,
Haven Road, Exeter, EX2 8DP
Drop in any time during the sessions to find out more about the Energy Centre. The exhibition will provide an opportunity for the local community to find out more about the project, meet the team and provide feedback. Alternatively, the designs and information about the proposals can be found here.
You can give us feedback on the Energy Centre proposals by using the form below, emailing us at Exeter@1energy.uk or by writing to us at PO Box 359, Saltash PL12 9AS.

Exeter Energy Ltd is holding two exhibition events to share more details about the project and our plans for the Energy Centre, which will provide the heat for the network.

The consultation will be open from 11th July until 1st August (inclusive).
The site is next to Marsh Barton railway station and near the Water Lane Solar Farm on the edge of the Marsh Barton trading estate.
The project will be applying to Exeter City Council later this summer for planning permission to build the Energy Centre which will provide heat to the network. We are gathering feedback and making sure we take into account the views of the local community before finalising our plans. We will share any feedback we receive with the council.
We are advertising the consultation in local newspapers, online, on social media and via leaflets which are being distributed to households and businesses near the energy centre site.
