Heat Network Registration

Registration Deadline

Existing heat network operators and suppliers must register with Ofgem by 26 January 2027 under the new heat network regulatory framework.

While registration itself may be straightforward, many organisations need significant time to identify networks, establish responsibilities, gather information and validate data before submitting their registration.

Early preparation can help identify information gaps, reduce compliance risk and avoid last-minute challenges ahead of the registration deadline.

What Information Will Ofgem Require?

Registration requires organisations to provide information about their organisation, their heat network and the customers served by the network. For many operators, gathering and validating this information is the most time-consuming part of the registration process.

While every heat network is different, the registration process typically requires a combination of organisational, technical and customer related information to support regulatory reporting.

How We Support Heat Network Registration

Many organisations do not hold all of the information required for registration in a single location. Information may be spread across managing agents, FM providers, billing companies, consultants and internal stakeholders.

KJ Tait helps clients identify information gaps, review available data and prepare the evidence required to support heat network registration. Our approach combines technical engineering expertise, metering knowledge and regulatory compliance support to help organisations prepare with confidence.
