The building was officially opened on Tuesday (19 October) by Mayor of London Boris Johnson, ODA chief executive David Higgins and Gérard Mestrallet, chairman and CEO of GDF SUEZ who will own and operate the new facility.
The Centre, which has been designed to reflect the Victorian heritage of the Olympic Park, will help provide a low-carbon heating and cooling system for the site and the new buildings and communities that will develop after 2012.
"It is an environmental imperative that we harness the delivery of 2012 Games to raise new standards of sustainability," said Johnson. "Not only will this leverage in new skills and job opportunities for Londoners, but also help the transition towards a low carbon economy."
Part of the utilities infrastructure will be housed within an existing Edwardian building that is being renovated and will include space for a visitors’ centre to be added in the future.
