District Heat Network Heat Tariff Review

29/04/2022 - District Heat Network Heat Tariff Review

On 29 April 2022, the Deputy Chief Executive (in consultation with the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Environmental Services and Sustainability) agreed the proposed Heat Tariff from 1 June 2022 from 1 June 2022 to 31 May 2023 is Incl VAT Fixed Charge £/year Variable Charge p/kWh
- Social Tenant £133.51 (£237.36 paid by landlord) - based on 11.73 p/kWh
- Owner Occupier/Shared Ownership £370.87 - based on 11.73 p/kWh
This at the lower end of Heat Tariffs from other District Heat Networks in England that are typically charging 11.5 to 18.5 p/kWh from April 2022.
The fixed charge has been increased by 5.96% in line with the change in RPI (from start of heat supply in September 2021 to March 2022) and this reflects the increased operation and maintenance costs.
