Practice notesThe Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations 2014, SI 2014/3120, as amended (the Regulations) transpose parts of the EU Energy efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU, relating to final customer energy metering and the provision of billing information.
The Regulations were introduced to bring communal and district heating more in line with gas and electricity sectors where such matters are governed in detail, in order to:
- •
make consumers more aware of what they are being charged
- •
encourage more economical Use of heat and
- •
empower consumers to challenge their heat supplier on the performance of the heating system and to minimise inefficiencies
Note, following the UK’s departure from the EU, the Energy Efficiency Directive is not retained in UK law. However the final customer energy metering and provision of billing information requirements stemming from the Energy Efficiency Directive are assimilated into UK law through the Regulations. For more information on the status of EU law in the UK after Brexit, see Practice Notes: Assimilated law and Brexit—impact
