Flexibility on demand, Giving customers control to secure our electricity supply
The electricity system in the UK is undergoing dramatic change. The way we generate and use power is very different today than even 20 years ago. With ever-increasing intermittent renewable generation, our ability to control power generation to meet demand is falling. A more flexible, user-led system is vital if we are to create a better value and less wasteful low carbon electricity system.
Guidelines for connecting to heat networks

Energy Efficiency in London
A world-class city, but its buildings lag behind.
Embedded Benefits review, Manufacturing energy cost concerns
In most cases, embedded benefits are not ‘benefits’, but a recognition that distribution connected generators and export from storage do not use the transmission network, and so should not pay for its use.
Levelling the playing field: Unlocking heat infrastructure investment
About 80% of a household’s energy costs are spent on heating and hot water. We need affordable, secure heating while meeting our carbon budgets. As heat accounts for a third of UK greenhouse gas emissions, the UK needs policies that will drive a step change in emissions reduction with a sharp focus on cost.
District Heating Finance
The UK Green Investment Bank plc (GIB) has prepared this report to highlight the opportunity to develop low carbon heat networks in our towns and cities and to provide some insight for public sector entities on how to finance such schemes.
