New HNES funding round announced
Posted: Wednesday, May 22nd, 2024
Over £3 million of funding is being awarded through the government’s Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) to enhance heat networks across England and Wales, HVP Mag reported. Allocated as Round 5 of the scheme, the funding aims to directly improve the efficiency of heat networks for the benefit of 8,492 residents and various other private and public sector organisations. The funds in this round bring the total awarded by HNES to over £30 million. This time, 24 organisations will receive support, totalling £3.2 million for 33 heat networks nationwide. Almost 2,000 residents will benefit from direct efficiency upgrades to their heat networks. An additional 6,500 residents, hospitals, universities, and public-sector institutions are set to benefit from optimisation studies. These studies will identify additional areas for improvement that reduce energy bills, energy consumption, and customer detriment. An optimisation study for a heat network serving the Ministry of Defence is included in this funding round and will identify areas where Wellington Barracks can improve its efficiency levels. According to the government, this funding's impact extends beyond financial benefits. The improvements planned for the 33 heat networks included in this funding round are expected to reduce CO2 emissions significantly, equivalent to taking 938 diesel cars off the road each year.
