Ofgem is active. HNTAS is coming.
Can You Afford to Get This Wrong?
Ofgem regulation is live, with enforcement powers now active and fines of up to £1 million or 10% of turnover for non-compliance. HNTAS regulations are expected in 2027, adding further risk. Failure to achieve HNTAS certification or Ofgem pre-authorisation can stall development, delay occupation and trigger penalty clauses in sales contracts.
Compliance & Regulation is built to keep you ahead of that risk. It brings your Ofgem pre-authorisation, HNTAS certification and Heat Network Zoning obligations under one independent service, so you’re not just compliant today but prepared for what’s coming next.

Common questions
FAQs
Here’s what clients most often ask about staying ahead of Ofgem and HNTAS requirements.
What is HNTAS?
HNTAS regulations are expected in 2027 and will add to the compliance requirements already in place under Ofgem. Compliance & Regulation includes guidance to help you prepare for HNTAS certification ahead of it coming into force.
What are the risks of non-compliance?
Ofgem’s enforcement powers are now active, with fines of up to £1 million or 10% of turnover. Beyond the financial risk, failure to achieve HNTAS certification or Ofgem pre-authorisation can stall development, delay occupation and trigger penalty clauses in sales contracts.
Is this a one-off certification process or ongoing?
It covers both pre-authorisation and certification support, plus zoning engagement, and expertise in the space means staying ahead of upcoming regulatory change rather than only reacting to what’s already in force.
Do we need this if we're using a heat network zoning consultant already?
Compliance & Regulation is independent and focused solely on your position, ensuring pre-authorisation, HNTAS and zoning requirements are met without other commercial interests influencing the advice.
