Open consultation: Implementing the Energy Efficiency Directive: metering and billing of heating and cooling

By HM Government

This consultation document seeks views on the government's approach to the implementation of Articles 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, as they apply to district heating, district cooling and communal heating and/or hot water.



The Directive contains some mandatory requirements for metering and billing. Other requirements will be subject to tests of cost-efficiency and technical feasibility.



The consultation proposes a number of ways to implement these requirements. The responsibility for implementation and therefore the impacts will rest primarily with the owners of such schemes.



The consultation will run for six weeks.



A number of workshops are planned where DECC's Heat team will set out the Directive's requirements and the proposed options for implementation.



Please email heatstrategy@decc.gsi.gov.uk if you would like to attend a workshop or if you have any queries or questions about the consultation.
