From TODAY, Ofgem’s heat networks regulations officially take effect. This marks a major step: heat networks are now recognised as a regulated utility, with clear responsibilities for operators to deliver outcomes for consumers, meet technical standards, and provide transparent, fair pricing.

The UK’s journey towards net zero by 2050 is accelerating, and district heating is playing a key role.
