The Scottish government designated energy efficiency as a national infrastructure priority in June 2015, to cover heat decarbonisation of domestic and non-domestic buildings.
District heating networks were identified as important for meeting Scotland’s future heat demand. The government is now consulting on developing a regulatory framework for district heating and ensure that Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP) achieves its broad objectives to reduce energy demand and decarbonise heat supply in buildings.
The consultation closes on 18 April 2017.
