The Growing Demand for Heat Networks
Heat networks, also known as district heating systems, are a key part of the UK’s transition to sustainable heating solutions. They are ideal for large-scale projects and urban developments, where individual heating systems might not be practical.
Currently, heat networks supply just 2% of the UK’s heat demand. However, by 2050, the government estimates that district heating could provide nearly 20% of the UK’s low-carbon heating needs. This rapid growth presents exciting opportunities for professionals in fields such as design, installation, and energy consultancy.
