There’s a lot of noise in the industry around Heat Network regulation at the moment.
Projects are moving forward, funding is being secured, and new schemes are being designed, but when it comes to what regulation will really mean in practice, there are still some big gaps.
And it’s not just new developments. Existing district and communal networks are in a similar position. Many Heat Network operators and owners don’t yet have a clear picture of how what’s already in place will stack up against what’s coming, or what needs to change.
Most of the conversation right now is focused on what’s next. Far less attention is being given to what already exists, and that’s where a lot of the challenge sits.
That’s exactly why we’ve launched COMPLY.
It’s not about ticking a box or producing another report. It’s about properly understanding what’s coming, what it means for your scheme, and putting the right steps in place now, while you still have time to influence outcomes.
If you’re involved in a Heat Network in any capacity, this isn’t something to leave until later.
