General queries 

If you have not yet completed your registration, email heatnetworksregulation@ofgem.gov.uk.

If your query relates to a specific heat network, include your heat network authorisation ID (for example, HND1000000). This is a number that we’ll assign to your heat network and provide you with after you’ve registered on the digital service.
