The Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP) was a government funding programme that aimed to:

  • increase the number of heat networks being built
  • deliver carbon savings
  • help create the conditions necessary for a sustainable heat network market to develop

HNIP provided £320 million of capital funding to gap fund heat network projects in England and Wales.

The scheme was open to the public, private and third sectors.
