To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what oversight his Department provides for investments in heat network infrastructure.
Miatta Fahnbulleh
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero provides capital funding for heat networks via the Green Heat Network Fund and the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme. The Department is represented on the Investment Committees for these schemes. Successful applicants must sign funding agreements with the Department which require them to provide regular monitoring and reporting updates on their projects as a condition of funding. These are the subject of regular meetings between the respective scheme delivery partners and DESNZ officials.
