Bright Blue responds to the UK Government’s decision to appoint Ofgem as the new regulator for heat networks.

Commenting, Joshua Marks, Senior Energy and Environment Research:

“Unregulated heat networks have caused nearly half a million people to suffer from uncompetitive pricing and a lack of transparency. The decision to allow Ofgem to act as regulator for these networks is welcomed to protect customers from these practices in the future.”

Bright Blue recently proposed that the UK Government should appoint Ofgem as the new regulator for heat networks, ensuring consumers get a fair price and a reliable supply of heat in our 2019 report Pressure in the pipeline.
