Rules for heat network operators and suppliers

Operators and suppliers of most heat networks will need to meet the authorisation conditions relevant to them. We want to support them to do this over time, including with guidance and a fair and pragmatic compliance approach.

Read the full authorisation conditions.

Where the supplier is also the landlord for the property on the heat network, they should follow both the authorisation conditions and relevant housing legislation.
