Vattenfall has been featured by PA Media, citing the investment opportunity presented by heat networks.
The article highlights that the opportunity that exists in the UK is ‘worth billions’ as part of the government’s target for 20% of the population to be connected to heat networks by 2050.
Jenny Curtis, Vattenfall MD, was interviewed by PA Media, and discussed the projects Vattenfall is engaged in, alongside advice for how the full scale of the heat network opportunity can be realised. This includes the need for collaboration in the early stages of development, raising awareness with consumers, upcoming zoning regulation and levelling the playing field with other low carbon technologies and gas.
