Heat Networks have been proven around the world as a reliable, cost-effective and low carbon means of heat, yet just 2% of buildings are heating this way in the UK. To provide much needed scale to this market, the Government is committed to investing up to £320m of support to individual projects across England and Wales.

So far, the Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP) has announced £165 million of funding awarded to projects, and this session will introduce to you the successful projects. It is a great opportunity to learn from those who have been through the application process and beyond.
