Green Heat Network Fund
The Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) is a capital grant programme that opened to applicants in March 2022. Initially a £288m fund, its popularity has meant further funding has been made available to support organisations in the public, private, and third sectors in England. The additional funding can be drawn down in financial years 2023/24 through to 2027/28.
The GHNF builds on the progress and development made by the Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP). Supporting the development of low and zero carbon (LZC) heat (and cooling) networks, the GHNF is a core element of the Government’s Heat Network Transformation Programme (HNTP), which addresses some of the challenges of decarbonising the UK’s heat sector.
