A new geological study has found that Britain has enough accessible underground heat to generate up to 20 per cent of its electricity and provide warmth for millions of central heating systems.
In some areas of the country, rock temperatures can reach as high as 200C (392F), which is enough to generate electricity.
However, in Hampshire the underground heat source does not reach such high temperatures – but could still be used to warm homes and businesses.
