It forms part of the City’s Green Infrastructure Plan and completes the interim Trigeneration Master Plan, published in 2010/11. The Master Plan includes new results for four “hot spot” zones, bringing the new total trigeneration and cogeneration potential capacity to 477MWe (previously 360MWe). The adopted Master Plan also contains updated information about the negligible air quality impacts, availability of natural gas supplies, case studies for buildings to connect to the thermal energy network and for domestic fuel cell cogeneration. | (-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°) | (-25.274398°, 133.775136°) | |
