London Green Energy Base Station

The Mayor has set a target to supply 100 per cent of Transport for London's energy from renewable power, and 15 per cent of London's overall energy from renewable, local sources by 2030.

Generating energy locally is more efficient and helps to cut London's carbon emissions. That's why the Mayor has set a target to supply 15 per cent of London's energy from renewable, local sources by 2030. At the moment, most of London's heat and hot water needs are supplied by the gas grid with boilers in each building.

We've just announced plans to revamp London's Greenwich Power Station. The aim is turn this iconic building into a combined heat and power plant. An energy supplier fit for a city of the 21st century.

That's why the Mayor has set a target to supply 15 per cent of London's energy from renewable, local sources by 2030. At the moment, most of London's heat and hot water needs are supplied by the gas grid with boilers in each building. London's electricity comes from the electricity grid.

The initial outputs of the London Energy Plan are a spatial map of London's energy supply and demand to 2050 and options for the required supporting infrastructure. It includes projections of heat and electricity infrastructure, retrofitting of the built environment to reduce demand, and electrically-powered transport.

Many London boroughs have also declared climate emergencies and set net zero targets. To deliver these changes, we need to ensure our current infrastructure is resilient to future threats and growth is sustainable. A whole system approach is needed. Local area energy planning sets out to:
