My Department has established a District Heating Steering Group, which draws together the expertise of key stakeholder organisations in order to inform the setting of targets and other key elements for the rollout of district heating at far greater scale.

A function of the Steering Group is to ensure that there is a robust governance framework in place and to develop a regulatory framework, along with any legislation that may be required.

The Steering Group will report to Government later this year.
