Heat networks regulation: authorisation conditions and guidance on measures to mitigate the risk and impact of financial failure
Risks of failure and models in the sector
Summary
In this chapter, we share our assessment of the risks to continued supply in the case of failure of the authorised entity in common heat network delivery models.
Details
By understanding the common features of different delivery models, we've sought to assess how financial failure might be addressed in different scenarios, through:
- commercial outcomes
- incentives for other entities with an interest in the continuity of the heat network
This has helped us to understand where gaps exist which may hamper commercial outcomes, and where regulatory intervention might still be required.
