What is happening with energy price caps on #HeatNetworks. Can see no announcement to mitigate rising costs for residents on PDHU . Oil users yes, personal electric and gas yes. District heating ? @FuelPovAction @PimlicoUnites
Rachel Blake@RNBlake
Many residents have contacted me about the impact that ongoing global events will have on their household bills. Reassuring that the Govt is already supporting those facing the greatest pressure amid the ongoing cost of living and will continue to focus on the cost of living.

@RNBlake We thought for a second you were talking about the PDHU. The similarities are remarkable.

Bow residents @EastldnCAG20 told their story on #Newsnight last night. Leaseholders have been left in uncertainty - without clear plans from landlords on funding for the works.

“It’s a crisis of confidence, that’s affecting nearly every tall building in this country.” Shadow Housing Secretary @LucyMPowell says a “laissez-faire” approach to housing and building regulation over the last few years has catalysed the safety crisis #Newsnight

@Ed_Miliband Unless you’re connected the the PDHU #heatnetwork in Pimlico, in which case you’ll be billed up to £66,000 for what is essentially a new boiler.

2/ Rolling out clean power upgrades and making homes cheaper to run:
✅Plug-in solar available within months
✅Solar fitted as standard on new homes
✅Accelerating the Warm Homes Plan

Michael Shanks MP@mgshanks
Imagine if in your weekly shop, you could pick up plug-in solar panels that help save on your energy bills? Well, in some parts of Europe you can do just that. We’re working with industry to bring plug-in solar to UK shops within months.

1/ The affordability crisis is the number one issue families are facing. That’s why we’re doubling down on our mission for clean power.
To give families energy security and lower bills for good.
Here’s what we’ve been up to this week👇

@Ed_Miliband Meanwhile, leading environmentalists claim London carbon capture project greenwashes waste incinerator expansion. The very incinerator shortlisted to provide heating and hot water to 3300 homes connected to Pimlico’s PDHU #HeatNetwork @FuelPovAction

This project, slammed by leading environmental organisations, has been designated a “project of national significance” by @Ed_Miliband. He claims to want lower bills for good but this will cost leaseholders up to £66,000 plus rent rises for tenants #Greenwashing @FuelPovAction
Pimlico Unites@PimlicoUnites
Westminster Council have shortlisted this as an option to replace the existing gas boilers that power the PDHU heat network in Pimlico. This blatant greenwashing forms part of their net zero strategy #heatnetwork #UnfairerWestminster

"Ofgem should implement price protections for heat network customers as an urgent priority. This needs to be simple and understandable and give equivalent protections as domestic gas and electricity customers receive."
Kumail Jaffer@Kumail_Jaffer
Hundreds of thousands of Londoners on heat networks need "urgent" price cap, Ed Miliband told @LeonieC has written to the Energy Secretary asking for added protections for such customers in light of gas price volatility during current Iran conflict mylondon.news/news/zone-1-ne…

Carbon capture project greenwashes waste incinerator expansion Investment in incinerators and CCS is an “expensive, high-risk distraction” from other more effective approaches. Worth a read 👇 theecologist.org/2026/mar/05/bu…

@hiltonholloway £45k per property is just the cost of replacing the pipework. With the new heat source, the Council have estimated it could be up to £66k per property.
English
Read this. Fascinating. An old Pimlico heating network needs replacing. £45k per property. Switching a flat to an individual gas hearing system £3-5k per flat. And four times cheaper to run. Fancy ideas still not better than a basic boiler.

Why is nobody is talking about what happens to heat networks when they reach the end of their life? This is what residents in Pimlico are facing right now. pimlicounites.com/post/what-happ…

Almost 40% of flats could be unmortgageable, leasehold campaigners have warned, following recent figures from Hamptons showing the extent of service charges.

Please complete this - only takes a few minutes. Important that LA leaseholders are not neglected

On 3 March we begin taking evidence for our pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill before the final Bill is introduced to Parliament. There's still time to fill in our survey. Tell us what you think by 31 March: forms.office.com/e/Hj27jXurmA

Looking for info / campaigns re: estate communal heating bills being ridiculous with excessive standing charges per day.
Especially in Southwark
Thanks

“Hannah is worried that if councils have to upgrade their heating systems in the future, leaseholders like her will end up paying” - Hannah is right to be worried. This is exactly what is happening in Pimlico #HeatNetwork #UnfairerWestminster bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
English
Another reminder why stronger oversight of heat networks matters.
Local voices must be heard as regulation develops.

Just one of the solutions being considered for the PDHU #heatnetwork replacement in Pimlico. Affordability doesn’t seem to be factored into Westminster City Council decision making #unfairerwestminster
Mike Foster@mikefosterEUA
I haven’t really pushed the argument about energy suppliers and their motivation for supporting a mass heat pump roll out. @DaleVince has given pause for thought.

We think @RNBlake might live to regret this photo opportunity when Pimlico leaseholders are handed bills of tens of thousands of pounds to replace their #heatnetwork @HarryScoffin @FreeLeasehlders

Rhys Thomas@iamrhysthomas
The Conservatives & their Reform pals will decry this progress. While they moan, @wminsterlabour is delivering. 2,000+ retrofitted homes, helping residents with the cost of living. Turns out that warming homes is far more effective than blowing hot air. westminster.gov.uk/news/westminst…
