The potential impact of these global measures will be considered in a comprehensive impact assessment as part of this negotiation process.</p><p> </p><p>This work goes hand in hand with the need to unlock investment in maritime decarbonisation technologies; zero and near zero GHG emission vessels; and green port infrastructure within the UK.</p> answering member constituency Wythenshawe and Sale East answering member printed Mike Kane question first answered 03/09/2024 16:39:31 answering member 4316 label Biography information for Mike Kane

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2024 answer text <p>As the sector has never been regulated, the Department has not collected pricing data for consumers on communal or district heat networks. However, we are bringing in regulation to appoint Ofgem as the heat network regulator and giving them powers to monitor the market and intervene on high heat prices. The Department is also exploring options to protect vulnerable consumers in the upcoming heat network consumer protection consultation. As heat networks can efficiently use waste sources of heat, they are well placed to cut bills, as well as to reduce emissions, and our reliance on imported fossil fuels. In urban areas, heat networks are often the lowest cost low carbon heating option for consumers.</p> answering member constituency Peckham answering member printed Miatta Fahnbulleh question first answered 05/09/2024 06:25:37 answering member 5099

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2024 answer text <p>It is a duty on water companies to maintain, improve and extend their water supply networks, to account for future water needs. Included within these plans, companies have to make estimates of demands from non-household customers, such as those for industrial users. Last year, regional water resources groups and water companies consulted on their draft water resources plans. These statutory plans set out how each company will secure water supplies sustainably for at least the next 25 years. The draft water resources management plans contain proposals for multiple new water resources schemes by 2050.
