The DECC report 'An Assessment of the Costs, Performance, and Characteristics of UK Heat Networks' published last year carried out a review of the prices charged to customer by a representative sample of heat networks. The average heat price was found to be 6.43p/kWh but with a wide range of 4.64 to 9.88 p/kWh, which was still on average less than a typical average gas central heating system. Given your involvement in the roll out of district heat networks, does this price range accord with your expectations of district heat network suppliers in London and how much they charge customers?

'Entrust' has confirmed that under the Landfill Communities Fund regulations landfill operators such as 'Viridor Waste Management' can directly fund Environment Bodies (EBs) without the need of a separate legal entity such as 'Viridor Environment Credits' which as I had previously highlighted in my question 2016/0058 had distributed most funds to organisations that were not local or affected by the proposed Viridor incinerator in Sutton. Do you agree with me that the current regulations are open to abuse and can be potentially used to further the interest of the landfill operator, rather than the local communities directly affected?
