Who we work with

Every geothermal project starts with your energy demand and we shape our support around your needs.

Private Sector Heat Users

Distilleries, manufacturers, hotels, leisure venues and commercial estates with a large, constant heat demand and a decarbonisation target to hit.

Public Sector Heat Users

Councils, universities, hospitals and social housing providers looking to cut the cost and carbon of heating a large estate.

Heat Network & Utility Developers

Developers, ESCOs and utility companies building heat networks, who need the ground-side resource proven and designed. This route follows its own set of project phases.

Geothermal Industry Partners

Consultants, contractors, funders and advisors who bring us in as the specialist geothermal expertise behind their own delivery.

Specialist geothermal services, end to end

We use a flexible phased approach to take you from feasibility to an operational project, which is adaptable to your needs.

TownRock Energy's six-phase geothermal project process: Scope, Discover, Enable, Prove, Deliver, Operate

PHASE 01

Scope

Understanding your value drivers and needs and comparing all suitable energy options, including all geothermal, to identify the best technology solutions.

PHASE 02

Discover

A detailed desktop study to develop the technical and commercial feasibility of your preferred geothermal solution/s.

PHASE 03

Enable

Supporting you to explore funding models and opportunities to enable the project to progress to delivery.

PHASE 04

Prove

On-site activities to collect critical underground data to confirm the geothermal resource and derisk and refine project design.

PHASE 05

Deliver

Build your project! Overseeing of the drilling, installation and commissioning of the subsurface and surface infrastructure.

PHASE 06

Operate

Monitoring to enable predictive maintenance and regulatory compliance for the lifetime of the project (40+ years). We are the only company that operates mine water heat schemes in the UK.

Backed by real projects and real results

“Our feasibility study looking at utilising the granite below Aberdeen as a heat source for the Foresterhill Campus went without issues. Despite the tight deadline for the project the team at TownRock were able to deliver on time and on budget with a fully worked through feasibility study looking at three deep geothermal technologies.”
