About Us
Heat Trust's stakeholder Committee provides independent oversight of our Scheme.
The Committee's role is set out in our Company Bye-Laws (you can find a copy of these here). Its duties include recommending changes to our Scheme, through Modification Proposals, that it believes would better facilitate achievement of our Scheme Objectives. Heat Trust's Board makes the final decision on whether to approve Scheme Modification Proposals.
The Committee's members are drawn from relevant industry sectors, including heat suppliers as well as consumer and trade bodies. Representatives from Ofgem, DESNZ and Scottish Government also attend.
All Committee Members are required to act independently of their company in the best interests of our Scheme. Meetings are run by an independent Chair and Heat Trust provides the Secretariat.
