[FAQ] How much is the connection charge for my plot?

In Bristol, Vattenfall supply heating and hot water to the building boundary, which is referred to as a bulk supply connection. This supply represents a competitive cost option compared with an on-site, low carbon alternative such as an ASHP.​  

To connect to the Bristol heat network, there is an upfront payment based upon the standard cost in £/KW of connection capacity.  Charges then compromise of two parts: a fixed tariff (represents the standard service charge for heat supply) and a variable tariff (represents the actual amount of heat the building uses, which is metered at the building’s substation).
