HeatSource Heat Networks in Action Event

Join the Heatsource team at our in-person event in Aberdeen on Tuesday 26th November to learn more about heat networks and how Aberdeen City Council are working collaboratively with suppliers to deliver multiple schemes across the city.

With speakers from Scottish Government’s Heat Network Support Unit, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeen Heat and Power and Vital Energi on the £25million Torry District Heat Scheme and gain insights from a number of our Heatsource champions on innovation in the supply chain.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to be part of the conversation to identifying how we overcome the barriers to mass adoption of heat networks in Scotland’s major cities.
