Jessica Warwick, Business Development Manager and Katherine Baker, Business Operations Manager at Data Energy
A practical session on preparing for Ofgem heat network regulation, covering key steps to meet compliance, protect residents, and strengthen operational and financial performance. Ofgem regulation is coming, but knowing it’s coming and being ready for it are two very different things.
This session is focused on the practical side of preparation. What do you actually need to have in place? Where are the common gaps? And how do you get your networks into a position where they’re not just compliant, but working properly for both residents and clients?
We’ll walk through the key areas that matter. From registration, metering and data accuracy, to billing clarity, customer support and debt management and what “good” looks like in each one. More importantly, we’ll share the steps you can take now to strengthen your position, reduce risk, and avoid issues further down the line.
Ultimately, this isn’t just about ticking a compliance box. It’s about putting the right structure around your network, so it runs efficiently, protects your income, and delivers a better experience for residents.
