o Desktop efficiency reviews of all existing schemes
o Development of compliant heat supply agreements
o Development of vulnerable customer policies and a Priority Services register
o Development of a heat network debt policy including full analysis of existing arrears profile
o Strategic review of metering and billing policies and processes, to include all aspects of tariff setting
o Resource mapping
o Repairs and maintenance specification
o Customer comms strategy including development of a new move-in process
o Identification of funding opportunities including via the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES)
• A final detailed report detailing all actions required for BCC to become, and remain, complaint with the new Regulations
