Heat Networks

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of heat networks on infrastructure-led economic growth.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The deployment of heat networks is predicted to have a positive impact on economic growth in the UK, however a full assessment of the scale of growth has not yet been undertaken. We will set out our long-term plans for heat networks in the Warm Homes Plan later this year, including the important role that they will play in achieving net zero, and in promoting economic growth.
