Heat Network Efficiency Scheme: Lambeth and Southwark
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the level of grant available under the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme to cover the estimated costs of remediation to bring older networks in line with the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (a) nationally and (b) for heat networks in (i) Lambeth and (ii) Southwark.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
The draft requirements of, and costs associated with, the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme will be published in a consultation and options assessment shortly. Heat network regulation is designed to be proportionate and to reduce costs in the longer term.
Further details on funding allocations for heat network schemes including the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme will be set out in the Warm Homes Plan later this year.
