HNES supports improvements to existing district heating or communal heating projects that are operating sub-optimally and resulting in poor outcomes for customers and operators. Revenue funding supports Optimisation Studies, while capital funding supports eligible intervention or improvement measures that directly contribute to the HNES objectives. Capital measures may cover the energy centre or plant room, primary or secondary distribution network, and tertiary network. Works not eligible include, but are not limited to, replacement of primary plant; changes to or replacement of pipework or heat emitters within the tertiary network; and installation of meters and metering equipment where required under the Heat Networks Metering and Billing Regulations.
