Heat Networks – Sustainability by Sweden is a joint Swedish government and industry-led initiative founded in 2016 to assist colleagues in the UK who are considering heat networks as the way forward for their future heating needs. It comprises around 35 leading Swedish suppliers of technology and services of heat networks, supported by the Swedish Energy Agency, Business Sweden and Swedish industry associations.

The environment is changing in the UK. In June 2016, the government announced that it would invest £320 million over the next five years in schemes across the country’s towns and cities to take low carbon heat and supply it to keep homes and businesses warm.

Given the UK government’s support* for local authorities in this area, we are convinced that heat networks will play an important role in supplying British homes and businesses with affordable and low-carbon heat for the future.

The aim of the initiative is to help accelerate the expansion of heat networks (district heating) by showcasing new ideas and technology and developing closer collaboration between businesses and political stakeholders across the UK and Sweden. So whether you are a contractor, energy operator or represent a local authority, our project team can help you connect with the right expertise, whatever your particular circumstances.
