Heat Network Regulation, zoning and broader policy

Through the Heat Network Transformation Programme, the government is enacting legislation and developing policies and regulations to ensure that heat networks can contribute towards reaching net zero. By designating zones where heat networks are expected to offer the lowest-cost solution for decarbonising heat, local communities will have the tools to accelerate the development of heat networks, ensuring that more homes and businesses can access greener, cheaper heat.
This includes improving consumer protection, creating the conditions to grow the market, lowering emissions, improving the performance of heat networks, and building up skills in the sector to encourage investment and jobs growth.
