Hydrogen for heat: facilitating a grid conversion hydrogen heating trial

We're seeking views on possible legislative changes to enable the delivery of a hydrogen grid conversion trial.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

The government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution sets out the ambition to support industry to deliver a hydrogen neighbourhood trial, and a village trial by 2025.

This consultation seeks views on proposals to legislate in order to allow Gas Distribution Network Operators to effectively carry out the activities needed to deliver a grid conversion hydrogen trial, and potentially to enhance existing consumer protections to ensure that those living in the trial area continue to receive fair treatment.

The consultation will be of particular interest to:

  • Gas Distribution Network Operators
  • the gas value chain and gas industry
  • consumer rights organisations
  • regulators
  • local authorities
  • housing rights organisations
