Midlothian Council partners with Vattenfall A new energy centre from a partnership between Midlothian Council and energy firm Vattenfall will provide heat to thousands of homes. The first project, part of the Midlothian Energy Limited (MEL) partnership, will supply low carbon heat to new homes through the MEL heat network that is planned to expand into existing buildings and into Edinburgh. Once connected, the MEL Energy Centre will capture low carbon heat from the Millerhill Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre – an energy from waste plant operated by FCC Environment. The new centre will use captured heat to supply around 3,000 homes, education and retail properties at Shawfair Town via the heat network.
