Average Confidence Level of Heat Demand Estimates (500m Grid) - Scotland

The Scotland Heat Map provides estimates of heat demand for all properties in Scotland. To indicate reliability, each estimate is assigned a confidence level from 1 to 5. Level 1 is least reliable and level 5 most. This is mainly determined by the presence of information that would directly impact on heat demand in the estimate’s source data. For example, estimates based on data that includes building type, age and floor area would be more reliable than estimates based solely on floor area derived from mapping data. This raster dataset gives the average (mean) confidence level of properties within 500m x 500m grid squares covering all of Scotland. 

The Scotland Heat Map is a tool to help plan for the reduction of carbon emissions from heat in buildings. Average confidence level is an indicator of reliability of the heat demand estimates within an area and allows planners to decide whether they meet their needs. The map is produced by the Scottish Government. The most recent version is the Scotland Heat Map 2022, which was released to local authorities in November 2023.

Heat Demand of Properties by Data Zone - Scotland

The Scotland Heat Map provides estimates of annual heat demand for almost 3 million properties in Scotland. Demand is given in kilowatt-hours per year (kWh/yr). Property level estimates can be combined to give values for various geographies. Both domestic and non-domestic properties are included. This dataset gives the density of heat demand of properties for each 2011 Data Zone (in kWh/yr per meter squared). Heat demand is calculated by combining data from a number of sources, ensuring that the most appropriate data available is used for each property. Density of demand is calculated by dividing the total heat demand for all properties in the Data Zone by the area of the Data Zone (in m2). The data can be used by local authorities and others to identify or inform opportunities for low carbon heat projects such as district heat networks. The Scotland Heat Map is produced by the Scottish Government. The most recent version is the Scotland Heat Map 2022, which was released to local authorities in November 2023.

Hot Dry Rocks - Scotland

Hot dry rocks are a potential source of geothermal energy. In Scotland they are likely to exist as buried high heat production granites. Alongside other data from the Scotland Heat Map, information on the likely location of these rocks is used to identify areas where deep geothermal energy could be used as a low carbon, renewable heat source. 

This data comes from a 2013 Scottish Government commissioned study into the potential for deep geothermal energy. The work was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and AECOM. Existing sources of data were used, no new measurements were taken. BGS used a number of sources to create this dataset. More information can be found in the study report on the Scottish Government website: https://www.gov.scot/publications/study-potential-deep-geothermal-energy-scotland-volume-2/

Energy Supply Point Locations - Scotland

The location of existing and planned sources of energy, both electricity and heat, is provided as part of the Scotland Heat Map. Alongside data on heat demand, this is used to identify opportunities to reduce carbon emissions from heat in buildings, either by connecting supply and demand in a more efficient manner or by using lower carbon alternatives to existing supply. Data on each energy supply point includes, where available, capacity size category, main technology used (e.g., ‘wind’, ‘biomass’) and planning status (e.g., ‘operational’, ‘in development’). This dataset is new for the Scotland Heat Map 2022 (which was released to local authorities in November 2023). It replaces the data on existing and planned energy supply in earlier versions of the heat map.

The Scotland Heat Map is produced by the Scottish Government. Data on existing and planned energy supply comes three sources. Two are UK Government sources: the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) and the Major Power Producers (MPP) dataset. The third is the Energy Saving Trust’s (EST’s) Renewable Heat Database (RHD). Records from the MPP dataset have only been included where they have a fuel type of fossil fuel or nuclear, or where they have a renewable fuel type but their installed capacity is less than 1 MW. This is to avoid overlap with the REPD as much as possible. Records from the RHD have only been included where they output heat only, their installed capacity is 1 MW or higher and they can be shared. The 2020 quarter 4 extract of REPD has been used. MPP data was provided by the UK Government in late 2020. The RHD provides installation information as at end December 2021.

Heat Network Locations (Existing and Planned) - Scotland

The Scotland Heat Map provides the locations of existing and planned heat networks. Both communal and district heat networks are included. Data about each network includes, where available, heat capacity size category, network name, status (either ‘operational’ or ‘in development’) and the main technology used (for example, ‘boiler’). There is only one point location for each network, the data does not show all connected properties or pipe layouts. Networks can serve domestic properties, non-domestic properties or a mixture of the two. 

Heat networks have the potential to reduce carbon emissions from heating buildings. Alongside other heat map datasets, information on existing and planned networks is used to identify further opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. For example, by connecting more buildings to an existing network or by replacing the energy source with a nearby lower carbon alternative. 

Data on heat networks comes from two sources. These are: the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Heat Networks (Metering and Billing) Regulations (HNMBR) dataset and Zero Waste Scotland’s Low Carbon Heat Database (LCHD). The most recent data available is up to end July 2022 for the HNMBR dataset (though the majority of the HNMBR data included in the heat map is up to end December 2018) and January 2022 for the LCHD.

Depth of Abandoned Mine Workings - Scotland

Water in abandoned mine workings is a potential source of geothermal energy. It can used in space and water heating. The thermal energy that can be obtained tends to increase with depth. Alongside other data from the Scotland Heat Map, depth information is used to identify areas where geothermal energy could be used as a low carbon, renewable heat source. Depth is given in meters and is displayed using contour lines.

This data comes from a 2013 Scottish Government commissioned study into the potential for deep geothermal energy. The work was carried out by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and AECOM. BGS used an existing data source to create a model to estimate depth, no new measurements were taken.
