Thank you to Building Design & Construction - BDC for their article on our second Community Heat Hub in Bexhill, Sussex. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eprxWneK

🗞 Work on our second Community Heat Hub is underway!   GTC is continuing to advance domestic heating solutions with the delivery and installation of its innovative Community Heat Hub at The Gateway, the Vistry Group Bexhill development in Sussex. The transformative replacement for gas meets the requirements of the 2025 Future Homes Standard (FHS) and is set to revolutionise the heating of new builds across the UK.   The Vistry Bexhill follows the successful trial of the Community Heat Hub last year at Taylor Wimpey plc’s Westfield Heath site in Suffolk. When assessed under the FHS, which comes into effect next year, carbon savings of 81% are predicted for the Vistry Bexhill development, when compared with individual gas boilers.   John Marsh, Chief Operating Officer at GTC, said: “Homeowners within the new Bexhill development will have a reliable supply of heat and water, all while having the peace of mind that their energy usage is at net zero. We are always looking for innovative solutions to decarbonise domestic heating, and the Community Heat Hub has proved to be incredibly effective in new developments. We look forward to welcoming our new customers to the net zero heat network.”   Brendan Evans, Managing Director at Vistry Kent, said: “The installation of the Community Heat Hub at The Gateway is a significant step not only for residents living at the development but also for the wider goal of achieving net zero. At Vistry, we are committed to achieving a 75 to 80 per cent reduction in carbon emissions in new homes by 2025 compared to 2021. Cutting-edge low-carbon technologies such as this will play a key role in meeting that target. We are proud to become only the second site in the UK to utilise this energy efficient heat network and look forward to working in partnership with GTC to roll out this technology to more of our new developments across the region.”   For more information please visit: https://lnkd.in/eswnPtY9

As part of our mission to improve customers' lives, accelerate towards net zero and make lasting connections with our customers, GTC is delighted to partner with Smart DCC (Data Communications Company). The DCC network allows GTC to connect and communicate with the DCC supported Smart Meters Network. This will enable us to improve the speed of identifying challenges on the network, whilst increasing security between the smart grid and the smart home and improving our response time for residents. Residents that experience either high or low voltage on their premises won’t need to have a voltage recorder installed, with any remedial action being undertaken quicker. GTC is the first independent distribution network operator to connect to the DCC network via CGI's DCC Adapter and is fully accredited under the Smart Energy Code.    Seth Townsley, Electricity Innovation & Transformation Manager at GTC, said: “Deploying a DCC Adapter onto our network is the natural progression for GTC. It allows us to deliver better network management services and enhances the service we provide to our customers.”   Paul Clark, Partnerships Director at DCC, said: “I am pleased to welcome GTC as the first independent network operator to become a DCC User. We are welcoming an increasingly diverse range of organisations to the DCC network, reflecting the value our network offers as the UK's energy transition progresses”. Congratulations to the teams involved and we look forward to developing our relationship with DCC. For more information please visit https://lnkd.in/eqeSY3Ja

We attended the Unlock Net Zero Awards at Manchester Central, after our Community Heat Hub was selected as a finalist in the Innovation of the Year - Product award category.   Huge congratulations to the Kensa Group for winning with their Ground Source Heat Pump.

The evening highlighted how driven we all are to transition to low carbon alternatives.   Tom Brough, Sales & Marketing Director at GTC, said: “We are delighted that our partner Kensa was successful in securing the win at the Unlock Zero Awards. Both of our organisations have a massive part to play in bringing low carbon solutions to the new build housing market and we are very excited to be working together to deliver our Networked Ground Source Heat Pump solution to both new and existing customers.”   Check out our partnership announcement with Kensa at https://lnkd.in/ebkM3RZe   For more information on our low carbon Community Heat Hub solution, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eeySFKAq #unlocknetzeroawards #netzero
