ADE Heat Network Conference 2018 reveals alignment across Government, regulation and industry

18 May 2018

Yesterday's Heat Network Conference attracted more than 100 delegates to discuss how heat networks can make the leap from being a featherweight to heavyweight contender in meeting the UK’s heating needs. 

Experts from across Government, regulation and industry came together to discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead. The discussions drew out some common themes, in particular the link between ensuring excellent customer service and the attractiveness of heat network investment. 

Lily Frencham, Senior Policy Manager at the Association for Decentralised Energy, said:

There is an alignment from all involved in the industry that heat networks are on the cusp of huge growth. 

The positivity and commitment to addressing the challenges around customer protection and investability is extremely encouraging and I am excited about the opportunities ahead.

Thank you to all our speakers. Presentations will be made available shortly in the Members' area of the website.
