The document summarizes recent regulatory updates to heat networks in the UK. It notes that the NMRO and BRDO merged to form Regulatory Delivery within the new BEIS department. Regulations on retrofitting individual meters are on hold pending viability tests. BEIS will publish notification returns from networks by the end of the year. A consultation on new regulations is planned for early 2017 addressing issues like clearer rules and a new viability tool. The tool will categorize networks as viable, requiring a test, or exempt from meters based on a cost-benefit analysis over 10 years. BEIS will collect cost data and release an aligned new tool as part of further regulation development.
