BEIS Heat Investment Vehicle - Heat Networks Event
2022-03-08 10:00 - 11:00 | webinar
Heat networks are vital to achieving a clean, cost effective and just transition to net-zero and deliver a wide variety of benefits to the environment, consumers, and the economy. What was once at the periphery of local authority energy planning is increasingly a cornerstone of Council decarbonisation strategies and is right at the heart of the government’s plans for a Green Industrial Revolution and its commitment to Level-Up Britain. For Local Authorities to achieve their own net zero goals, there is significant opportunity to work in conjunction with industry investors to deliver their decarbonisation strategies as well as a multitude of social and environmental benefits, across communities in England and Wales.
The BEIS Heat Investment Vehicle (BHIVE) allows public sector heat network owners/developers in England and Wales to procure funding and funding-related services for their heat network projects from a range of potential funders.
In this session we will be covering recent regulation and policy updates around Heat Networks, as well as hearing first-hand how Heat Network projects have benefited from private sector funding and investor’s perspectives on why BHIVE and public / private sector Heat Network projects are an area of interest to them.

Frameworks and Heat Network Procurement Webinar
2020-08-20 09:30 - 11:00 | webinar
Procurement frameworks can support with developing and delivering heat networks through reducing time and cost during commercialisation. This is especially helpful where IRRs are low.
Following a recent market review and survey, we have identified current understanding and the barriers to how frameworks can support the procurement of heat networks.
In this webinar, we will present the findings from our survey, hear from organisations who will share their experiences of using frameworks and discuss how some of the barriers might be overcome.

Raising standards and consistency across heat networks - Developing Heat Contracts
2020-07-02 13:30 - 14:30
We have produced a standardised set of contracts known as the Sales, Operations and Maintenance Set (‘SOMS’) of contract documentation for heat network developers and operators. The creation of standardised contracts is significant to developers by introducing a best practice approach by standardising the core legal drafting and removing the cost of creating fundamentally similar contract forms multiple times for each project yet providing the flexibility to tailor contracts for each project. The SOMS remove a key obstacle faced by developers enabling faster development on projects. This will in turn build market confidence by making projects more investable and improving conversion rates through the commercialisation stage and into construction. The reduction in project CAPEX will improve returns and costs to consumers. This webinar provides an introduction to the SOMS and an overview of how they are being used to raise standards and improve consistency across the heat network market.

Raising standards and consistency across heat networks - Consumer Protection
2020-07-01 14:00 - 15:00 | webinar
Join us to hear from BEIS about the development of a regulatory framework to protect consumers and from industry on what is being done to support heat network customers during these challenging times. We will also explain how HNIP ensures that customers will be treated fairly once the funded schemes are in operation.

Context

The Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy has recently closed a consultation on building a market framework for heat networks. The consultation set out policy options for establishing a market framework to deliver important consumer protections, equivalent to those offered to gas and electricity customers, as the market expands and proposals for protecting consumers including on transparency, pricing and quality of service standards.
The Heat Networks Industry Council (HNIC) was officially launched on Wednesday 3 June. Their vision sets out the aspiration that “consumers will have the same confidence in their networked heating, its reliability, and associated service and protection as they do today in their boilers.” In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the HNIC published new consumer protection agreement on 1 May 2020 which included measures to ensure all customers remain supplied with energy, heating and hot water through challenging times and supporting customers in financial distress. The Secretariat for the Heat Networks Industry Council is the Association for Decentralised Energy.
The agreement is supported by Heat Trust, an independent, non-profit consumer champion for heat network customers. In response to the national emergency, Heat Trust has issued specific guidance on vulnerable customers including making every reasonable effort to support and help a Heat Customer that experiences difficulty, including restructuring their payments so that they are manageable and affordable.
The Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP) requires funded projects to adhere to Heat Trust or equivalent standards. More information about the scheme eligiblity criteria, please refer to our Application Guidance.
