A View from Parliament Martin McCluskey MP – Minister for Local Energy & Jobs Again this winter, we’re seeing the effects of exposure to fossil fuels. It is the government’s duty to tackle this structural problem through every means at our disposal. Growth of our heat network industry is part of that commitment. Heat networks …
EnergiRaven brought together Greater Manchester representatives and Danish energy specialists to discuss how a regional network could connect local sources of excess heat with homes and businesses. Greater Manchester could make better use of excess heat from industry, data centres and other local sources by connecting them through a regional heat network. That was the …

Why are we asking housebuilders to become energy companies? As the UK accelerates the transition to low-carbon heating, housebuilders are facing a growing challenge: delivering new homes without relying on the gas infrastructure that has underpinned residential development for decades. In our latest Raven-i, we explore the difficult choices developers now face as they balance housing …
Heat Highways offer a practical way to lower the cost of heat There is more common ground in Britain’s energy debate than Westminster often admits. Most people do not want precious resources wasted; most want lower bills, stronger communities and a more independent energy system. Most would rather see British industry, engineering and infrastructure working …
EnergiRaven will join policymakers, industry leaders and political commentators at the New Statesman’s Politics Live event on Tuesday 30 June in London, where the future of UK energy infrastructure will be high on the agenda. Following the recent local elections, the conversation around energy infrastructure feels more important than ever. Whatever their political outlook, people …
EnergiRaven is delighted to share that our Head of Marketing, Adam Juel Fabricius, has been named Energy Champion of the Year – Business Development Impact at the Energy Awards.
Britain likes to tell itself that large-scale infrastructure change has become too difficult: too slow, too fragmented, too politically fraught. But there is a forgotten story that challenges that assumption. In just a decade, Britain converted millions of homes and businesses from town gas to natural gas, replumbed expectations about what heating could be, and …
Clean Heat by 2040: What can we learn from the roll-out of natural gas? Read More »
Our latest analysis, carried out with Viegand Maagøe, finds that the projected growth in data centres will produce enough waste heat to warm millions of homes in the UK by 2035 – if the infrastructure is in place to take advantage of it.
Manchester is approaching a decisive moment in its energy history, one that will shape the city’s energy system for generations.
As gas is phased out, the city is preparing to build heat networks to supply homes, public buildings and industry. This is not a marginal intervention. These networks will determine household bills, carbon emissions and energy resilience for the rest of the century.
Britain’s clean-energy transition is at a critical juncture. A visit to the International District Heating Summit in Denmark earlier this year highlighted a stark comparison: while Denmark has created one of the world’s most efficient, resilient and affordable energy systems, the UK is poised to constrain its own progress through premature and excessive regulation. The result could be a decisive setback for one of the most effective tools available for cutting carbon emissions and strengthening energy security.
