GT Energy to deliver geothermal heat plant to NHS Trust

The next phase is the creation of an Innovation Partnership between GT Energy, the Trust and the CEF for the parties to work together through the project development phases to deliver a geothermal heat plant for supply of renewable heat to the hospital on a long-term basis.

GT Energy said it will de-risk and develop the geothermal project from initial geological feasibility, through consenting, to construction of the wells and energy centre.  It is expected that heat supply will begin in early 2026 subject to planning, regulatory permitting and procurement cycles.  It is envisaged that GT Energy will own and operate the facility.

“This is an important step forward for GT Energy,” Ross Glover, COO, IGas said in a statement. “The NHS 2040 net zero target places it at the forefront of decarbonising healthcare, making it the world’s first national health system to commit to become ‘carbon net zero’, backed by clear deliverables and milestones. GT Energy along with the Trust and the CEF look forward to realising this project which will position Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust at the forefront of the NHS’s ambition.”
