You’ve registered your heat network—now let’s explore the next steps and turn your plans into action, in person!

From metering gaps and unreliable data to funding upgrades, billing and compliance. Tackling the practical challenges ahead.

Registration is just the beginning. The bigger challenge is understanding what needs to happen next.

Are your meters working as they should? Can you rely on the data you're collecting? What happens if equipment needs replacing, and how do you plan and pay for the work?

With Ofgem's regulatory requirements bringing greater scrutiny to heat network operations, these are the questions owners, operators and managing agents need to be asking.

Join DMS Metering Solutions and Data Energy for a FREE breakfast seminar focused on the practical challenges of managing heat networks in 2027 and beyond.
