Everything you need to stay compliant

For the companies Ofgem holds responsible, and for the managing agents and contractors who do the work.

The conditions that apply to you

Answer a few questions about each network and Caldora works out which of the 29 Ofgem authorisation conditions apply: your role, who you supply, cooling, district network feeds and co-operators.

Evidence and sign-off

A checklist for each condition, evidence filed once across every network it covers, and a sign-off that records who signed and when. Every upload and deletion is logged.

Managing agents and contractors

Appoint each firm for its service. It sees only the networks and conditions it works on for you; the conditions and the sign-off stay with you, and ending an appointment ends its access at once.

Who sees what →

Evidence requests

Ask a firm for a document. It answers in Caldora, the document is filed against the right condition, and you accept it.

Ofgem reporting

Ofgem's 138 reporting obligations in three lanes (registration, regular data returns and notifications), with deadlines in a daily email and a readiness checklist. You submit to Ofgem yourself.

Complaints, incidents and priority customers

Complaints tracked against B4, incidents with Ofgem notification and properties affected, the priority services register, and corrective actions closed when the issue is resolved.

Built for portfolios

Upload networks from a spreadsheet, see every network and who is appointed on it in one view, and export the key service providers list condition A14 asks for.

AI review and board reports

AI checks your evidence against the condition and suggests what to fix; it advises and never changes a status. Board packs in PowerPoint, a PDF summary and a full audit pack.

Security

The platform and database run in London; evidence files are stored in the EU. Require two-step sign-in for your whole organisation, and give outside advisers access limited to some networks with an end date.

Compliance Document Library

Regulatory Framework

Built around the framework that matters

Caldora Compliance is built around the Ofgem authorisation conditions and Ofgem's regular data reporting, from the text Ofgem published.

Primary Framework
Ofgem Authorisation Conditions
Heat Networks (Market Framework) (Great Britain) Regulations 2025

29 conditions covering fair pricing and cost allocation, financial resilience, continuity, billing, complaints, priority services, operator conduct and security of supply, plus 138 Ofgem reporting obligations.

What the platform tracks

Section A applies to every authorised person, Section B to suppliers and Section C to operators. Answer a few questions about each network (your role, who you supply, whether it supplies cooling or is fed from a district network) and Caldora works out which conditions apply.

Role-aware · Auto-populated on setup
Managing agents and contractors

Your contractors do the work. You stay accountable.

Ofgem authorises the operator or supplier. A managing agent, billing company or maintenance contractor can do the work, but the responsibility for compliance, and any penalty, stays with the authorised company. Caldora is the record that shows Ofgem who did what.

Common questions

What software helps heat network operators comply with Ofgem authorisation conditions?

Caldora Compliance is built around the 29 Ofgem heat network authorisation conditions and Ofgem's 138 regular data reporting obligations. It works out which conditions apply to each network, holds the evidence and sign-off for each one, and lets the duty holder appoint managing agents and contractors who see only their own work.

Does Caldora include template documents?

Yes. The Compliance Document Library holds 189 Word and Excel templates mapped to the Ofgem authorisation conditions. Each condition lists the documents it needs with a template for each, branded with your organisation's details when you download it.

Can contractors have restricted access?

Yes. Each firm is appointed for a service on named networks and sees only the conditions and records it works on for the duty holder. The conditions themselves stay with the operator or supplier Ofgem has authorised. Only the duty holder's own people sign conditions off, and ending an appointment ends the firm's access at once.

Does Caldora cover HNTAS?

Not yet. The Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme is still a government proposal: DESNZ consulted from 21 January to 15 April 2026 and expects to publish its response in early 2027. Caldora will add the HNTAS requirements once the final standards are published, and its regulatory change monitor watches the government's HNTAS pages in the meantime.

How much does Caldora Compliance cost?

From £1,999 + VAT per network per year.

Does Caldora submit returns to Ofgem?

No. Caldora tracks what Ofgem needs and when, and produces a readiness checklist, but you submit through Ofgem's own service.
