Article summary

The British Property Federation (BPF) has published a blog post, announcing the launch of its Heat Network Network on 4 March 2025 at an event in London. The network aims to support the property sector in preparing for the new regulatory framework introduced under the Energy Act 2023 (EnA 2023). As part of this framework, the government is consulting on the implementation of heat network zoning in England, which would require certain buildings within designated zones—such as new buildings, existing communally heated buildings, and commercial buildings with significant heat demand—to connect to heat networks. The full consultation response is expected in Spring 2025. At the event, panellists discussed the policy, the need for clarity in the real estate sector to facilitate informed decision-making, and how heat network zoning will ensure greater demand certainty.
