| Description: | The Heat Network Investment Project (HNIP) consists of project pipeline development and time-limited £320 million capital support to build heat networks in England and Wales. |
| DCA (RAG) | Exempt FOI |
| DCA text: | HNIP has made full use of both internal and external (IPA) reviews to ensure that the project was on track prior to the launch of pilot. HNIP is also undertaking lessons learned reviews as well as comissioning an evaluation of the project so that HNIP can learn from the pilot phase and refine the project ahead of Main Scheme launch. Since the the October GMPP return the project has made considerable progress and has successfully launched and delivered the pilot phase, on schedule. |

The funding comprises £170m of fiscal spend and £150m non-fiscal that does not negatively affect Public Sector Net Borrowing. Of this money £27m has been allotted to the financial year 2016/2017 with the rest profiled each year to 2020/2021. The cost-benefit analysis undertaken for the HNIP Pilot Outline Business Case (in line with Q2) assesses the social NPV for the scheme as a whole at £365m, with 6.5Mt of total carbon savings over the appraisal period. This will be finalised as part of the work on the OBC for the Main Scheme in 2017. |
