Investing in communities
We partner with cities and developers across the UK who share our vision for a fossil-free future. Together, we design, build, and operate city-scale heat networks, delivering reliable, low carbon heating to communities.
But our mission goes beyond providing fossil-free heat. Our aim is that as we build, our heat networks bring additional benefits both to the customers they serve and to the communities where they are built.
By supporting urban regeneration, creating jobs, and enhancing wellbeing, we’re delivering a just transition to a sustainable future.
Heat networks: more than just heat
Heat networks are powerful contributors to social value, offering benefits like:

- Increased investment in local supply chains
- Supporting improvements in local air quality
- Urban regeneration

We tailor our social value initiatives to the unique priorities of each community, ensuring meaningful impact where it matters most.
