The Bath Road Energy Centre will be a permanent location for a generating site as part of the city's District Heat Network.

Moreover, the energy centre will be located on a triangle of land to the West of Bath Road, bordered by the Totterdown scarp hillside and the railway line.

The energy centre is being proposed by Vattenfall, the company owned by the Swedish state which is part of the Bristol City Leap.

As a result, Vattenfall is holding a public exhibition to explain the energy centre, and will be putting in a planning application in the summer. This event will take place on Thursday, April 24, between 3pm and 8pm, at the Double Tree by Hilton hotel on Redcliffe Way.
