#heat-networks

Residents connected to council-run heat networks are facing significant cost increases, with heating expenses rising nearly 30% above the Ofgem price cap since 2023-24.

Forthcoming regulation of heat networks is great news for consumers, but Ofgem's proposals around price regulation do not yet deliver the level of fairness or price protection that heat network customers deserve. Many households are still paying twice as much for heat as those using gas boilers - and that simply isn't sustainable.
