Part of Bevan Brittan's Points of Connection Webinar Series
Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is set to reshape how local authorities operate, with important implications for organisations working within their boundaries – particularly in the heat network sector.
This webinar will provide a concise overview of LGR, including affected authorities and timelines, and explore what these changes mean for heat network operators, suppliers, developers, and offtakers. We will cover the impact on existing projects, funding and contractual arrangements, alongside key strategic considerations, and practical steps to prepare.
Designed for local authorities and those delivering or operating heat networks, this session will help you understand the risks, opportunities, and next steps in a changing landscape.
More specifically, we will cover:
- Brief background to LGR and what is happening/due to happen.
- Which local authorities will be affected and timeline around this.
- LGR, devolution and complex projects.
- Where does this leave current initiatives, funding, contractual arrangements, stakeholders – major questions around this.
- Areas of competence
- Key processes and points to consider when planning to put in place new commercial structures and managing transfer of assets, contracts and liabilities.
- Strategic and contractual considerations
- Considerations for new and ongoing projects
- How to prepare
