"Our low carbon heat pump is also now in production and will be ready to install once the building has been constructed.
“Overall, the project is progressing well and we hope to start flowing low-carbon heat to public buildings across Worthing town centre by autumn 2025.”
To compensate for the works that been taking place in recent months, Worthing residents can enjoy days of free parking and bus travel in the run-up to Christmas.

The council is working in partnership with Hemiko to deliver the Worthing Heat Network – a pioneering scheme which will bring sustainable heating to buildings and homes across the borough.
The council said: “Hemiko, formerly known as Pinnacle Power, will design, build and operate the heat network, which forms a key part of our commitment to become a carbon neutral council by 2030 and a net zero area by 2045.”
