We also upgraded the existing 3.5MW biomass steam boiler to boost performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The improved system now delivers hot water to nearly 200 homes, a local hospital, and a public meeting room\/concert hall. It also supplies steam to the neighbouring Old Pulteney Distillery, an award-winning facility and major local employer.<\/p>\n<p>This project delivers more than reliable, low-carbon heat. It supports local fuel supply chains, reduces emissions and helps Wick take meaningful steps towards net zero.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                        <!-- icons -->\n                        <!-- buttons -->\n                                                <!-- quote -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OCS upgraded Wick\u2019s Energy Centre, delivering low-carbon heat to the community through innovative biomass and CHP system enhancements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10000022880,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"contract-type":[],"key-criteria":[371],"location":[377],"sector":[384],"service-type":[441,47],"class_list":["post-31777","customer-stories","type-customer-stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
