An independent tracker of one policy

Heat network zoning will affect building owners, residents, councils and the companies that build networks. It is also a story that journalists, councillors and researchers need to follow accurately. Official information is spread across GOV.UK, legislation.gov.uk, Ofgem, council committee papers and procurement notices. We bring it together in one place, date it, and link back to the original.

The site is a reference, not a service. It does not give advice about individual buildings. It is published by the same owner as Heat Network Consultants, which covers the practical side for building owners. The two sites are kept separate: this one does not rank, recommend or list firms.

We are not affiliated with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ofgem, the Warm Homes Agency, any council or combined authority, any heat network company or any trade body. Nobody pays to appear on this site, and no organisation reviews our content before publication.

Every regulatory statement is stored as a dated fact with its primary source, and every place has a dated stage history. Read the methodology for how stages are assigned and how often we check. Changes are logged in the changelog, and errors can be reported on the corrections page.
