Vattenfall responds to Scottish government's announcement that public sector buildings will be required to connect to a heat network
In welcome news, as part of a new Heat & Buildings Bill, the Scottish government has today announced a requirement for public sector buildings to connect to heat networks where possible.
Responding to the announcement, Vattenfall’s Director of Scotland Heat Networks, Eoghan Maguire, said:
“This is very encouraging news for all the buildings about to connect to a heat network and it’s important that the policy is implemented quickly. Heat networks are more reliable and resilient, and those buildings will benefit from a significantly enhanced service.
“The Scottish government has listened to industry and made a really positive decision that will transform the way buildings get their heating and hot water. It has also given heat network operators much more certainty to invest in nationally important, strategic infrastructure that will be at the heart of Scotland’s low carbon future.”
