Mr. Michael Phillips:

If you want to maximise the district heating project, the waste to energy plant really maximises it. What it means is that the hot water is not being expelled to the air; it is being taken from the waste to energy plant and used for heating. In this case it would heat up to 60,000 houses or units. If a waste to energy plant were used to its maximum, there would still be boiler houses for the peaks because the waste to energy plant is used as the base load. Therefore, one will have peak boilers, and one of them may be used in the office block or whatever.
