The GHNF will support new and existing heat networks that deliver low carbon heat at a volume of heat that is consistent with our strategic objectives for heat network market growth in England. A heat network, for the purposes of GHNF, is a series of hydraulically connected pipes that distribute thermal energy to customers, uses low carbon technology and is centrally managed.
