About this event
This year’s annual UKDEA Conference has been created in collaboration with BEIS and the GLA. The Conference will commence with John Saunders, Project Director for Heat Networks at BEIS, setting out a roadmap for Heat Networks. Following this will be a series of talks and case studies, which will focus on how the current planning framework in the UK works, and can be used to aid the delivery of heat networks.
Many of the case studies have never been presented before and will cover ground breaking schemes where, by the innovative use of the planning framework, heat networks have been created.
This event is aimed at all UKDEA Members as well as local authority officers involved in planning or heat networks, and consultants and planners working in the heat network sector and is free to attend.
