**Partnered with Switch2, Winckworth Sherwood's May seminar was hosted as a webinar.**

Following the Competition and Market Authority's (CMA) market study into heat networks in 2018, where the key outcome was for regulation to be introduced into the sector, BEIS are now working on the next steps to put this in place. The Heat Network Market Framework consults on regulatory arrangements and closes in June 2020.

This webinar had **Arran Mornin** from the **Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy** (BEIS) talking through the market consultation and discussing what this means for heat network operators, customers and the supply chain.

**Ian Allan**, **Switch2 Energy**, covers what this means for the key stakeholders in heat networks, importantly customers.

**Colin Hall**,  **Winckworth Sherwood**, takes us through the legal implications heat network operators and owners need to be aware of in these changing times.
