Clean heat neighbourhoods playbook
This playbook captures learnings from delivering clean heat neighbourhood projects with local authorities. It aims to offer actionable insights and practical guidance to support local authorities in taking the next steps in their area-based clean heat transition.
The sections are not exhaustive and will be added to as our understanding develops. Where uncertainty remains, we will acknowledge this openly and invite feedback, keeping our process transparent. We invite you to navigate section by section, or go directly to the areas most relevant to you.
