Partnership Models: Financing Heat Networks & Local Energy Systems
Global webinar
Thursday 15 October
9am New York | 2pm London | 5pm Abu Dhabi
Across Europe, cities and municipalities are modernising local energy systems, with heat networks playing an increasingly important role in decarbonisation and energy resilience. As Central and Eastern European markets transform existing heating infrastructure, attracting investment depends on effective public-private partnerships that can balance public objectives with commercial requirements and support the development of integrated local energy systems.
This session will explore how strategic partnerships can unlock investment in local energy infrastructure, including the role of heat networks within wider energy systems. It will examine what makes projects investable, how stakeholders can overcome delivery challenges, and what lessons can be applied across the UK and Central & Eastern Europe.
Discussion Points
- What delivery models are proving successful?
- What should municipalities do differently to attract private capital?
- How are investors' expectations changing?
- Where will the next investable opportunities emerge?
- Which UK lessons are genuinely transferable to CEE, and which need adapting?
Speakers:
- Natasha Schlichtkrull, Commercial Advisory Associate, Amberside Advisors
- Rémi Cuer, Investment and Business Development Director, Kyotherm
- Alice Berry, Head of Net Zero Brighton & Hove City Council
Webinar format: 1 hour discussion featuring presentations and audience Q&A
