Summary
Vital Energi's ESCo division has signed deals to develop, own, and operate the energy centre for Edmonville Village, a 709-home residential scheme in southeast Edinburgh. The development will use air source heat pumps at a central energy centre to provide heating via insulated district heating pipes, eliminating the need for individual gas boilers in any home. Residents will pay a fixed annual tariff, and the scheme is expected to save 294 tonnes of carbon per year.

· 2 pulledAll of the scheme's heat supply is generated from a sole, locally managed plant, without any individual gas boilers in any of the homes on site.
Because heat is produced by air source heat pumps at a central energy centre and delivered to homes through insulated district heating pipes, residents pay a tariff which is fixed annually.
