Metering & Monitoring for Heat Networks

A New Era for Heat Networks

At the heart of this change is the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS) (DRAFT), which will set out the benchmark for how heat networks should be designed, installed, and monitored.

For developers, building owners, and network operators, aligning with HNTAS will no longer be optional; it’s a legal requirement. DMS Metering Solutions, with 25 years of experience in metering and monitoring, provides the technology and expertise to help networks meet the proposed metering and monitoring standard confidently.

What is HNTAS and Why Does it Matter?

HNTAS is part of the UK Government’s commitment to improve heat network performance, consumer protection, and investor confidence.

Its focus includes:

• Technical assurance at key lifecycle stages: design, construction, and commissioning
• Ongoing performance monitoring to ensure efficiency and reliability
• Data collection to support compliance and reporting

For heat network operators, this means demonstrating that the network works as intended and that residents are billed fairly and accurately inline with the key foundation of milestone 2 – metering and monitoring.
