On 30th September BEIS released a call for evidence which looks specifically at how to best design the Green Heat Networks Fund, which received £270 million in the Chancellor's Spring Budget.
The new Green Heat Networks Fund aims to focus heat network policy on lower-carbon to low-carbon heat generation.
The consultation covers a range of topics, including:
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
In addition to the consultation, there is a separate pipeline questionnaire, which asks respondents to give details of heat network projects that are in the pipeline, and would be financially possible with support through the fund. You can respond to the questionnaire here.
THE DEADLINE FOR RESPONSES IS 13th OCTOBER 2020
