Families could save on energy bills as Government backs huge heat network rollout
The package will support new systems and repairs across England and Wales, with ministers saying it could help more than 750,000 homes.
- The Government announced £90 million in new funding for heat networks, aimed at providing cleaner, cheaper energy to more than 750,000 homes across the UK.
- Minister for Local Energy and Jobs Martin McCluskey stated the infrastructure investment is "reindustrialising the UK" and will deliver "lower bills, good jobs and energy security" for families.
- A significant £41 million scheme along the River Thames will supply clean heat to 650,000 homes, potentially unlocking around £5 billion of investment in local networks.
- Funding also includes £13.3 million to upgrade 76 inefficient heat networks across England and Wales, with specific grants for projects in Bradford, Solihull, Bexley, and Greenwich.
- ADE Policy Manager Meghan Newman noted the funding "is a clear signal that heat networks matter," while Brighton's Vega Building demonstrates success with residents saving £438 annually.
