News and Projects
Building on the experience gained from the successful implementation of the Crynant minewater scheme supported by Cardiff University’s Seren Project, Nuvision Energy (Wales) Director Dave Tucker assisted Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) in developing a case for creating a district heating project using warm water from the abandoned coal workings in Caerau, Maesteg. BCBC subsequently were successful with a grant application to Welsh Government for European Funding (ERDF) for the Caerau Minewater Project. The project will be a combined district heating scheme with ground source heat pumps for some 300 homes in Caerau in the Upper LLynfi Valley. Warm mine water from the abandoned mine workings beneath the town will be used as the renewable energy source. It is intended that the proposed district heat network will connect to heat pumps that will provide warm water for both space heating and hot water for up to 800 homes in Caerau. The project will be undertaken in phases with Phase One being borehole drilling and activation, installation of pipework infrastructure and the connection to some 300 homes. Rob Francis was project manager for the Cardiff University led feasibility study that addressed the issue of whether a “mine water” heat network is a viable option that can be successfully implemented in the village of Caerau, in the Upper Llynfi Valley, in Bridgend County Borough. The study looked at i) Ground exploration to establish the location of the old mineworkings, ii) The development of a heat generation model, iii) An assessment of the financial viability of the scheme, iv) a comprehensive review of housing type in the study area and v) An engagement strategy. The study identified demand centres, infrastructure requirements and borehole drilling options and showed that with water available at 22 degrees C, overall that the implementation of a mine water district heating network in the village of Caerau is a viable proposition. In 2018, Nuvision Energy (Wales) were appointed Project Managers for the next phase of the scheme which involved developing contract documents for a specialist consultant to undertake a ‘Detailed Project Development Study’ for the scheme.

Heat pumps are one of the Government’s chosen renewable energy technologies for use as an alternative to gas or oil fired heating and are part of the UK’s drive to a zero carbon environment by 2050. They only use electricity and make an excellent partner for low carbon electricity from wind and PV farms.
They are available in three formats; ground source, water-to-water or air source and all use the natural environment as the energy source. Ground source heat pumps take heat from the ground through either shallow horizontal pipe systems or looped pipes in sealed boreholes. Water- to- water heat pumps use two open boreholes, one housing a submersible pump which delivers warm ground or mine water to the heat, the second is then used to return the cooled water back to the ground. Air source heat pumps extract heat directly from the air and operate from + 300 to some -200C.
