Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) Application Support Service

Unlock the full potential of your heat network with the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES). Let Heatweb guide you through every step of the process to secure the funding your project needs.

What is HNES and what are the benefits?

The Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) is a government initiative. It is designed to improve the performance of existing district and communal heating systems. Moreover, it does it through revenue grants (for optimisation studies) and capital grants (for implementing improvements). HNES aims to increase the energy efficiency of heat networks, reduce operational costs, and improve service delivery to residents. With millions of grant funding available over the next few years, the scheme offers a unique opportunity to enhance the efficiency of your heat network while reducing carbon emissions and operational costs. Applying for HNES funding could bring a range of benefits to your organisation, including:

• Improved Network Efficiency: Optimise your heating systems, leading to reduced energy consumption and operating costs.
• Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Address customer issues related to heating performance and pricing, improving overall service delivery.
• Futureproofing: Align your network with modern standards, ensuring long-term viability as the UK transitions towards low-carbon heat solutions.
• Significant Funding: Up to 100% of costs for optimisation studies and 50% for capital improvements, easing the financial burden of network upgrades.
