InTEGReL Community Energy Village

Located at Northern Gas Networks’ (NGN) research site at Low Thornley, Gateshead the project involves building nine homes from different building eras to create a unique ‘Customer Energy Village’ which will be used to research different technologies for decarbonising home energy use.

The village consists of three 1910 terraced homes, two semi-detached 1930s houses, a 1950s bungalow, two flats from the 1970s and a detached home from the 1990s, to represent millions of UK homes. They will be used as a test bed for different technologies to understand which energy solutions are best suited to decarbonise different housing stock and how energy use can be reduced.
