The Heat Networks Industry Council
The Heat Networks Industry Council (HeatNIC) is a joint industry and Government forum that exists to grow the low-carbon heat network sector and help deliver long-term transformation of the UK energy system. Low-carbon heat networks are one of the most cost-effective ways of providing secure, reliable and affordable heat to consumers whilst enabling us to meet our net-zero targets.
What are
heat networks?
Heat networks distribute heat or cooling from centralised sources to a variety of different customers, such as public buildings, shops, offices, hospitals, universities and homes. Whether they are supplying a few neighbouring buildings or entire cities, these highly efficient systems remove the need for individual boilers or heaters in each building connected.
