About UK Power Networks
Britons using natural gas as primary method for heating
emissions come from heat
Heat pumps in operation across UKPN in 2019
Buildings supplied by Gas in GB Up to 540,000 heat pumps by 2030 & up to
7.6m by 2050 in our regions in DFES high
electrification scenario
The Challenge
Inform heat decarbonisation policy through provision of data and evidence Deliver a great experience to customers wishing to connect low carbon heating solutions Undertake least regret actions to ensure network readiness
Objective 1 Objective 2 Objective 3
Enabling the decarbonisation of heat for all our customers wishing to transition

Who are our key stakeholders?
Deliver a great service experience for all customers wishing to decarbonise their heating Customers in the decision-making process Connecting new technologies Ongoing customer experience

right for them
Energy Data Taskforce
Surveyed housing developers said education is a key role for networks to play
Sharing information in the right way
38% are considering heat pumps 38% have no idea what option is suitable
Developers likely or very likely to consider low carbon heating in their next development Fuel poverty rate is higher in homes heated by electricity What do we know about our stakeholders?
40% think that the capital hurdle is the biggest barrier to deliver low carbon heat, and 30% consider there not being enough electricity capacity the greatest challenge Other barriers mentioned:
perception
upgrade
arrangements
Barriers
Undertake least regret actions to ensure network readiness
identify required standards and policy gaps
plan for the next price control period Objective 3
One size fits all approach will not work for the decarbonisation
We have identified off grid gas developments, new builds and residential on grid gas as the segments where DNOs can facilitate the transition to low carbon heating We will explore least regret
facilitate the decarbonisation of heat
Heat Customer Segments
Review existing and emergent low carbon heat technologies
