About

UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Centre for Sustainable Energy for social research to inform the development of Heat Network Zones in England and potentially Wales.

The project assessed stakeholder attitudes and perspectives across six cities—Bristol, Birmingham, Greater Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, and Nottingham—where heat decarbonisation zoning is being piloted.

It engaged a representative sample of building types and asset owners to identify considerations around choice, cost, responsibilities, and carbon; compare views on local versus individual heat decarbonisation solutions; determine attitudes towards mandated or encouraged connection to heat networks; and identify risks and opportunities.

The research aimed to provide an evidence base for policy recommendations to Ministers.

The contract value was AUD 122,972.
