ABOUT CITIGEN
Citigen is a sustainable urban energy supply for the City of London. It is designed to be a lower carbon and cost effective source right in the heart of the City from its underground site underground below Smithfield. The network covers over 6km of heating and over 4.5km of cooling to commercial and residential property from the Guildhall to the Barbican Centre.  Its annual output is 35k MWatt hrs of heat, 11k MWatt hrs of electricity and 10k MWatt hrs of cooled water which covers the equivalent of 11,300 homes. It uses a modern tri-generation system with internal combustion engines and is natural gas fuelled with waste heat being recovered for increased efficiency. Citigen is an integral part of the solution for the City of London environmental targets. For the future E.ON says Citigen has the potential to double its output.
Citigen is also home to E.ON’s UK City Energy control room.
