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.

There are [?] members that represent a large proportion of the heat network industry, as well as representatives from BEIS and the Minister for Business, Energy and Corporate Responsibility – all of whom have come together to grow the sector and meet our net zero targets.

Sector growth to deliver reliable, affordable, low-carbon heating

At a time when we are asking more questions about the future of energy in the UK, heat networks are a big part of the answer. The Committee on Climate Change predicts that heat networks will need to provide about 20% of total heat by 2050 to deliver net zero. They currently provide about 2 – 3%.

The Council helps
to deliver this by:

  • Promoting the sector and improving awareness of heat networks and their contribution to net zero.
  • Developing bold and innovative solutions to help grow the market, such as how to capture and utilise more waste heat.
  • Taking collective action to build the heat network workforce of the future.
