Ms Margie McCarthy:

To differentiate between a district heating network and communal heating, communal heating is where a heat source and the supply to the consumer is within the boundary of one property whereas district heating is an energy hub that feeds into a range of estates and properties. That is where the district heating piece is coming into play. We are aware of commercial rates being applied within certain communal heating schemes and we are involved in a feasibility study around protecting one such scheme, about which I ask my colleague, Ms Sheehan, to address.
