Comprehensive Strategies For Deliverable Schemes
What is commercialisation?
At its core, it means turning a heat network scheme into an investable proposition - by securing connections, generating revenue, and structuring a viable business case.
At HNDC, we focus on what truly matters: getting your heat network delivered. We specialise in unlocking funding (whether private finance or public grants), securing customer commitments and contracts, and closing commercial deals.
Our goal is to take projects beyond feasibility, driving them towards investment readiness and swift delivery.
We offer a modular, scalable approach to the commercialisation of heat networks. Whether you're delivering a new scheme from the ground up or simply looking to connect a single building to an existing network, we tailor our services to meet your exact requirements.
Our offer spans a range of delivery frameworks, from full End-to-End  Commercialisation, where we lead the entire journey from strategy to operation, through to One-Off Connection Support, helping schemes secure revenue and negotiate connection and heat supply arrangements.
Whether you're a heat network owner, local authority, delivery partner, we provide the level of support you need, when you need it, with the end customer in mind. All our frameworks are customisable to meet your specific requirements
