There is strong interest from developers, landlords and ESCos in supplying residents with electricity to reduce the cost of their overall service offering. This is often linked to the provision of heat, where combined heat and power (CHP) plant is used. The drive for lower carbon solutions is also creating new opportunities to integrate heat and power from solar PV and heat pumps.
BEIS (The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) have confirmed an extended implementation period has been granted for the proposed amendments to the Heat Networks (Metering and Billing) Regulations 2014.
The Heat Network Market Framework is the latest proposal which will pave the way to formal regulation of the heat sector. It follows the market study by the Competition and Markets Authority in 2018, where it was found that regulation, further investment and customer protection was needed for this growing area of energy. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published the report in February and 1st June marked the closure of the consultation period.
Partnered with Switch2, Winckworth Sherwood's May seminar was hosted as a webinar.
Ian Allan, Head of Strategy for Switch2 Energy, offers guidance on the steps communal heating suppliers must take to comply with the updated Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations (HNMBR).
