Hydrogen: Heating
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Energy Bill [HL] Impact Assessment on a hydrogen heating village grid conversion trial which states that “we expect Gas Distribution Network Operators to reach an agreement with all consumers in the chosen trial location, including those who do not want hydrogen or cannot participate in the trial”, on what grounds consumers would be considered to be unable to participate in the trial.
- Answer
-
All consumers will have the right to refuse trialling hydrogen. Alternative heating solutions and appliances will be offered for those who are unable or do not wish to take part.
It is possible that some consumers such as commercial or industrial users with specialised requirements may not be able to participate in the trial if suitable equipment is not available at the time.
