Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he expects to launch the proposed call for evidence on heat network price protections; and what the intended scope of that review will include.

Heat network suppliers and operators have until January 2027 to register with Ofgem and supply data, including information about pricing. Ofgem will use this to further inform their approach to pricing rules and guidance.

The Department is working with Ofgem to assess data and evidence as heat network regulations develop and we will publish a Call for Evidence on heat network pricing in due course.
