The project will connect hundreds of existing air source heat pumps in social housing across Greater Manchester using 5G technology, helping create 'smart energy grids' to manage the network more efficiently. Announcing the funding, Government minister Sir John Whittingdale said he hopes the scheme will help bring energy bills down too.
The data and digital infrastructure minister said: "It means the devices are now able to communicate and we have an ability to monitor activity in real time and in a way that's never been done before. It's another kind of smart meter technology where the equipment is linked into the Smart Energy Grid."
