Heat Network Regulations by Rachael Mills and Rupert Bulgin of Chripy Heat www.chirpyheat.com

In 2025 all heat networks - which means all new and existing communal and district schemes - will become subject to full regulation by Ofgem. The aim is to provide consumers protection in a natural monopoly, as well as improve the performance of schemes and the services provided. The effect will be to bring heat networks in line with the gas and electricity markets and will involve a whole range of new requirements and obligations that will have to be reported to Ofgem. This will be a significant change for both developers of new heat networks and managers of existing schemes.
This session will outline the new regulations and importantly what this will mean for both new and existing schemes and their on-going management. It will cover:
· The wider heat network context and market
· Current and future regulation overview
· The shape and detail of full regulation
· What this will mean for new and existing schemes
· Delivery and management of full regulation
· Q and A
