Heat Network Compliance Documentation for Consultants and Advisers
If you advise heat network operators on Ofgem authorisation, you already know the challenge. Your clients need a full suite of compliant policy documents, consumer-facing materials, and registration-ready evidence — and they need it before January 2027. Producing that documentation from scratch for each client, against the final determined Authorisation Conditions published in January 2026, is time-consuming, technically demanding, and leaves your practice exposed if the content is not current.
Heat Network Compliance is a specialist document generation platform built for exactly this workflow. It produces all the authorisation documentation your clients need, built against the final January 2026 Authorisation Conditions, delivered as professionally formatted Word documents ready for board approval and Ofgem submission.
What the platform does for your practice
Complete documentation, not a checklist
The platform generates 45 structured policy templates covering all applicable Ofgem Authorisation Conditions — Section A general conditions, Section B supplier conditions, and Section C financial resilience requirements. Every policy template has a linked consumer-facing document generated automatically from the same responses. Your client receives a complete, coherent documentation set, not a collection of disconnected policies.
Built against the correct regulatory version
All templates are built against the final determined Authorisation Conditions published by Ofgem in January 2026 and the Enforcement Guidelines published 20 February 2026. For a compliance professional, regulatory currency is not optional — it is the foundation of your advice. You can present documentation to clients and to Ofgem with confidence that the content reflects the final regulatory position, not an earlier consultation draft.
Guided completion eliminates duplication
A wizard-driven interface presents questions in logical order. Organisation details entered once are pre-filled across all applicable templates. Your client does not re-enter the same information repeatedly, and you do not spend time reconciling inconsistencies between documents produced at different times.
Professional output ready for board and regulator
Every document is generated as a formatted Word file with document control sections, version history, and approval signatures. The output is suitable for board sign-off and regulatory submission without further formatting work.
The consultancy licence
The platform operates a per-client licence model for consultancies and advisers. Each client organisation requires its own licence, which can be activated under a single Consultancy Subscriber account. You manage all clients through one login and generate documentation on their behalf within the terms of each per-client licence.
This model is designed for practices advising multiple operators — housing associations, local authorities, ESCOs, managing agents, and private landlords — who each need their own compliant documentation set ahead of the January 2027 registration deadline.
