- A DECC introduction to the role of HNDU and the future of heat networks – from John Saunders, Head of investment at HNDU
- How to structure and deliver your project – key legal and contractual issues
- How technically feasible is it to build an energy centre and network of heat pipes
- How to construct the Business Case which will deliver decarbonised heat
- Are joint ventures the way forward for heat networks?
- How to manage Procurement issues
Target audience
This free-of-charge session will be suitable for energy, sustainability, low carbon and environmental managers looking at the options for delivering or growing a heat network in your area. In addition, public sector lawyers, Financial Directors and CEOs interested in revenue generation and/or the strategic approach to energy management should find this of relevance.
