The district energy sector is undergoing a major transformation as it steps up to take a leading role in helping the country decarbonise. It’s an exciting, but also a challenging, time.
In parallel the country is going through a number of major changes in its legal framework in key areas affecting the district energy sector. From procurement to employment, emissions trading to customer rights, and construction and health and safety, recent and forthcoming legislative changes will affect how district energy networks are created, operated and managed.
