gbp’s project management team support major step in Worthing's net zero plans

A 10-year programme of decarbonisation in Worthing has become a reality, thanks to project management support from gbpartnerships.

Worthing Borough Council contracted with gbp to oversee the development of the District Heat Network project through to financial close, which was achieved at the end of April 2024.

gbp has worked with the Council to project manage and procure a heat mapping and feasibility study, and to see the project through the subsequent detailed Project Development and Commercialisation stages. Work is set to commence on the Worthing Heat Network in July 2024, with the first buildings to be connected by Summer 2025.

Francesca Iliffe, Strategic Sustainability Manager, Adur & Worthing Councils said:

“gbpartnerships have provided invaluable, high quality project management to the Worthing Heat Network Project, enabling a fast paced and expert approach to delivering this key strategic project for Worthing. The team have been excellent at negotiating through legals, procurement, interface with government, strategic partners and investors, and keeping the Project Team on track to hit our project milestones and KPIs.”
