Guidance Materials and Resources for Heat Networks – focusing on the Green heat network fund
The Triple Point team will be facilitating and leading the HNIP and GHNF Investment Committee, the body responsible for deploying funding in line with the HNIP investment mandate.
Heat Networks have been proven around the world as a reliable, cost-effective and low carbon means of heat yet just 2% of buildings are heating this way in the UK. Using a mix of Government and private sector funding, Triple Point Heat Networks Investment Management will help to build a self-sustaining and transformative heat energy market which offers affordable and reliable heat.
About The Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF)
The Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) is a capital grant fund that will support:
- the commercialisation and construction of new low and zero carbon (LZC) heat networks (including the supply of cooling)
- the retrofitting and expansion of existing heat networks
It aims to develop and grow the heat network market and to address some of the challenges of decarbonising the UK’s heat sector. Find out more about heat networks.
