This seminar explores how the heat network sector can move from fragmented, siloed data to secure, real-time data sharing across operators, asset owners, consultants and regulators. As regulation tightens and performance expectations rise, access to trusted, auditable data is becoming critical to compliance, optimisation and investor confidence.

Nick Vigors, Chief Technical Officer at Armadillo Analytics, will introduce ARM-Hub 2.0 - a next-generation digital backbone designed to standardise and govern data flows across decentralised energy networks. Building on a validated prototype recognised at the UKDEA Awards, the platform enables organisations to connect disparate systems, manage permissions, and share live data securely, with full auditability and automated data-sharing agreements.

The session will demonstrate how this approach supports emerging frameworks such as HNTAS KPIs, reduces compliance burden, and enables more efficient, transparent network performance. Attendees will gain a practical view of how interoperable, vendor-neutral data infrastructure can underpin the next phase of heat network scale-up and decarbonisation.
