Part 8: Heat Networks Chapter 1: Regulation of Heat Networks Section 216: Relevant heat network
Section 216 clarifies the scope of regulation by defining "relevant heat network", a term used for the purpose of the powers to make secondary legislation detailed in Schedule 18. The definition of "relevant heat network" relies on definitions of "communal heat network", "district heat network", and "heat network" in subsection (2) (and subsection (3) clarifies that ambient loops, that do not have a single heat source, are within the definition of "district heat networks"). Subsection (4) permits the Secretary of State to amend these definitions by regulations subject to the affirmative procedure.
