In line with the commitment in the Climate Action Plan 2021, a District Heating Steering Group has been established to resolve barriers to expansion of district heating. The District Heating Steering Group has met four times since its establishment in February 2022 and it oversees a number of Working Groups that are conducting in-depth, solutions-based analysis of the key areas that must be addressed in order to support district heating, namely: planning; regulation and standards; finance; and research. The Steering Group is expected to bring its report to Government in Q4 2022.
