• A procurement framework of joint local authorities could significantly reduce the risk of investing and operating heat network systems
• Important to spread as much knowledge as we can so designers know what to consider and local authority officers know what they are buying
• Technical:
  • Capacity – ownership of heat exchanger substations
  • Reliability – importance and value of leak detection system, stakeholder management for network route, check contractors and certifications
• Throughout a heat network project, there are risk management activities to include at every stage
  • Quantification is key
  • Risk management will keep the projects within time frame and budget

We look forward to our next seminar to be held later this year with a topic to be confirmed. Your input on issues you wish to be taken up is always welcome – contact us for further discussions.
