Heat networks are a key technology for meeting our net zero target. The Government is developing the following through the Heat Network Transformation Programme:

  • Accelerating deployment of low carbon technologies for new and existing heat networks through the Green Heat Network Fund, which was recently allocated an additional £485m to 2027/28
  • Improving the performance of heat networks through £77m of funding for the Heat Networks Efficiency Scheme
  • Introducing heat network zoning in England in 2025 to boost sector growth
  • Building skills to encourage investment and jobs growth through the Heat Training Grant
  • Introducing regulated consumer protections by 2025
