The survey targets a wide range of participants, not limited to those directly engaged in the construction and management of heat networks. Organisations encouraged to respond include:

Local authorities
Housing providers
Investment companies
Owner/operators of campus-based systems such as universities and hospital sites

Organisations involved at any scale, from minimal to extensive engagement in heat networks, are invited to contribute to the survey.

Survey details and submission

Building on a preliminary exercise conducted in 2022, this expanded survey is designed to be straightforward and quick, requiring no personal information from the respondents.
