Global Webinar Series | 30 MINUTES WITH... Heat Networks & Centralised Solutions

Once seen as a mature and low-growth sector, heat networks are now being reshaped by decarbonisation, urbanisation, and shifting energy policies. How resilient are these networks in an era of high inflation, volatile fuel prices, and political uncertainty? What role will they play in the broader transition to sustainable energy?

Join our expert panel as we explore the evolving role of heat networks in the global energy transition, their financial resilience, and the opportunities for long-term investment.

Discussion points:

- Investment and growth drivers: demographic shifts, modernisation, decarbonisation, and the expansion of cooling services.

- Resilience to macroeconomic pressures: inflation, fuel cost volatility, and climate-related risks.

- Market risks and structural challenges: affordability pressures, and greenfield development complexities.

 Speakers: 

- Marija Simpraga, Infrastructure Strategist, Legal & General (Moderator)

- Guillaume Camus, Investment Director, Infrastructure, IFM Investors

- John Carey, Head of Infrastructure Debt (Europe), Legal & General 

- Luiz Hanania, CEO, Veolia Group in Poland
