and we're off! Dr Joanne Wade opens the #HeatNetworks20 Sector Conference. With 122 attendees and rising!
More than 130 of us are attending #HeatNetworks20 Sector Conference where Dan McGrail has introduced the Heat Network Industry Council. Watch this space for its launch on June 3rd! #keepcalmandcarryonline
Up to the minute updates from @beisgovuk and @ScotGovEnergy. Q&A working shows industry and Gov are working together #HeatNetworks20. 134 in the conversation right now 💪
Wasted heat- a wasted opportunity or a waste of time? 👀🍿🙋♀️#HeatNetworks20
Dr. Alban Leiper @ArupGroup takes us into the break. How good is online conferencing?! You have to bring your own beverage for the end but with over 100 online with us #HeatNetwork20 the (low carbon) heat is on!
We are back for the second part of #HeatNetworks20! How do we drive a just transition and ensure security of supply? Looking forward to hearing from our panelists from @CAenergypolicy, Paul Barker @BristolCouncil Zain Habib @UKPNnews and Lorna Millington from @CadentGasLtd
Gillian Cooper from @CAenergypolicy 'We must make sure consumers do not get left behind in the transition to net zero. Not everyone has the same access to the energy market' #HeatNetworks20
Zain Habib outlines @UKPNnews Heat Strategy. a) Inform heat decarb policy through evidence & data b) Deliver a great experience to customers c) Undertake least regret actions to ensure network readiness #HeatNetwork20
Lorna Millington @CadentGasLtd 'We need ensure that we keep the customer at the centre of the transition' #HeatNetworks20
Thank you to all of our speakers today! Really informative presentations and excellent contributions from everyone.
The keynote for our #HeatNetworks20 conference comes from George Day @EnergySysCat 'How we shape markets to deliver zero carbon building retrofits at scale'
'Decarbonising the UK building stock is a massive challenge & a huge commercial opportunity, but consumers' experiences need to improve!
Investing in building stock is worth £2.6tn and will generate jobs and business across the UK' @EnergySysCat#HeatNetworks20
Great slide from George Day @EnergySysCat outlining the six steps to shape markets for zero carbon buildings - #HeatNetworks20
A big thank you to everyone who has participated in our #HeatNetwork20 conference today! Thank you also to our partners @ArupGroup It's been a fantastic turnout and we have had some fantastic presentations. We hope you have all enjoyed it!

An excellent session led by Andy Parker @officialcalor on 'Decarbonising heat in off gas grid rural homes'. The theme of #HeatDE20 is 'Levelling up with local energy' and this session was packed full of excellent insights
Rob Honeyman from @Ecuity_UK points out that support for multiple technologies will deliver decarbonisation of rural off gas grid houses at lower cost
Peter Smith from @NEA_UKCharity agrees there are 'no silver bullets' for rural household heating. Do we hear an echo?! Yes we do! An excellent and shared message cropping up in many sessions at #HeatDE20 Thanks, @peterwsmith101 💪
Charlotte Owen is leading a convo on 'Right thing, right place: Delivering regionally' #HeatDE20 and has shared that from a poll of a whopping 140 industry members, *89%* agree we need a 'Centralised policy framework that requires local authorities to undertake zoning over time'
Keith Owen at @NGNgas is emphasising the importance of close collaboration with local authorities and local stakeholders. It's important to consider scale- this is essential to ensure neighbouring LA's can provide an excellent service #HeatDE20
Matthew Billson @beisgovuk says: we don't think there is a silver bullet for reaching net zero, we must look at all the technologies. Including many decentralised technologies, our department has a very large portfolio!
Our #HeatDE20 session on activating householders and engaging the disengaged is now in full swing, with @drobsoninsta of @WeAreInstaGroup currently speaking on the opportunities brought about by the green homes grant 💡
@ClemCowton from @octopus_energy speaks about their breadth of xp engaging the customer. Take the brilliant octopus.energy/blog/wheel-of-… which brought forward 8k meter readings on 🎄🧑🎄. If you build something that is intuitive and engaging- they will come!
.@drobsoninsta from @WeAreInstaGroup reflects on being involved in Gov energy efficiency schemes for a decade+: We need to learn from previous experience but also look at innovative ways of engaging with consumers- they want to engage in different ways than they did 10 years ago!
The ADE welcomes the announcements made in the Chancellor's speech today. And in response, we can share that the energy industry is ready to provide 40,000 green-collar jobs in the next two years. The #GreenRecovery is underway! theade.co.uk/news/press-rel…
🔊Hear Hear! 🔊 As the @theCCCuk says - The number 1 #GreenRecovery priority for Government must be backing a national buildings renovation programme:
Better buildings will create a whopping 50k real quantifiable green-collar jobs in the next two years and ~200k by 2050, as shown by @eeiguk and hnic.uk
Better buildings will predominantly create jobs outside of the South-East – putting decarbonisation to work to level up our regions, as @ECIU_UK have found eciu.net/news-and-event…
Improving the #energyefficiency of buildings is fundamentally about both today and the future. Here are 5 reasons we think building retrofit should form a key part of the #GreenRecovery:
1)It's an infrastructure project that can start now and will span decades, providing sustained employment opportunities across the UK and building a skilled, green workforce. @VividEconomics/@wwf_uk research found that 85,000 direct jobs are created to 2030 through green retrofit
2)It enables exciting new, low carbon heating options, such as heat networks that utilise waste heat from the underground or abandoned coal mines. These innovative solutions are vital to the future of heat decarbonisation and are not viable in cold and draughty buildings.
