Councils are progressing with funding and supply agreements for District Energy Networks.

Hounslow Council's Cabinet approved the allocation of £3.66 million from the Community Infrastructure Levy in February 2026, which includes funding for the development of a district heat network. This funding is part of a wider allocation for infrastructure projects, supporting growth outlined in the Council's Local Plan.

In January 2026, Haringey Council approved a 40-year agreement for the supply of heat to the new Selby Urban Village development. Councillor Ruth Gordon, Cabinet Member for Placemaking and Local Economy, authorised direct negotiations with district heat network provider Energetik for connection, supply, and potential management. This decision aligns with planning policies from Haringey, Enfield, and the London Plan, which mandate connection to a District Energy Network.

A District Energy Network is a system that distributes heating and cooling from a central source to multiple buildings. Councils are developing these networks to meet sustainability goals and comply with planning policies. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
