Details
This draft assessment procedure for existing heat networks details the activities to be undertaken to verify compliance with Milestone 3A requirements in the upcoming Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS).
Milestone 3A involves the production and assessment of the Performance Improvement Plan which is designed to:
- show how a Responsible Party intends to improve network performance and reliability to the threshold required to achieve Certification
- allow HNTAS to gain confidence that this is sufficient and achievable within the required timescales
The document is for use by:
- heat network assessors
- heat network operators
The assessment procedure corresponds to the draft HNTAS technical specifications for Milestone 3A.
Next steps
We will be requesting feedback on the information in these documents. We will run a change management process in parallel with the HNTAS technical standards consultation which will launch shortly.
We will make final versions of these documents available before the scheme starts.
