Waste heat from data centres will be used to keep thousands of new homes warm after a fresh cash injection from government.

The government has announced that five projects will receive a share of nearly £65m to create new heat networks. 

Residents of the Old Oak and Park Royal development in west London will be the first to benefit from the investment

More than half of the money (£35m) will go towards the first heat recycling scheme at the Old Oak and Park Royal development in west London.
