A call for evidence has been launched by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for the development of a Green Heat Network Fund.
The Fund is intended to help new and existing heat networks adopt low carbon technologies.
Initial views and evidence is sought on:
- the state of the heat network market and the supply chain
- the financial, technological and consumer drivers for heat network decarbonisation
- the potential project pipeline for the fund
- examples of best practice in scheme design
BEIS are also seeking data which will inform their analysis and modelling.
The call for evidence is open to everyone with an interest in this area.
In particular, they are keen to hear from:
- heat network operators
- energy companies and network operators
- energy investors
- technology suppliers
- consumer organisations
- local authorities
- housing associations and other social housing providers
- property and housing developers
- large businesses and SMEs
- financial institutions
