Opus is pleased to have advised the shareholders of Hemiko on its sale to independent infrastructure fund manager DIF Capital Partners.

Hemiko is a leading developer and turnkey contractor in the UK district heating market, and has delivered over 100 projects since its inception in 2012. District heating networks link industrial and commercial heat sources with nearby customers, providing a cost-effective, low-carbon alternative to traditional gas boilers in urban locations.

The acquisition by DIF will accelerate and fund Hemiko's development and ownership of district heating networks across the UK.
