Haydale, in partnership with Cadent Gas Limited, has created a Low Power Hot Water solution capable of supporting potentially vulnerable customers in times of emergency or when off the power grid. Cadent is licensed by Ofgem (Office of Gas and Electricity Markets) to distribute gas in certain UK regions.

There are potentially up to 4 million customers in the UK who, at some point, could be at risk of not having access to hot water or heating.
The Graphene Ink-based portable water heater allows customers to wash, clean and live independently without gas or electricity.
This innovation promises to be cost-effective, reliable, lightweight, and remarkably efficient. It will operate seamlessly with rapid battery charging and effectively heat water.
The incorporation of advanced materials, such as insulating graphene inks, ensures that the water heats up quickly and retains its warmth for extended periods, facilitating a shower-like experience without the need for a pumping mechanism.
There will be two applications for this innovation—one designed for bathroom use and another tailored for the kitchen. This approach minimizes the risk of injury to the customer by eliminating the need to move the items between different locations.
To ensure customers receive support for the innovation projects, it is essential for them to register for the Priority Services Register (PSR). Registration with the PSR can offer specific benefits, such as advance notice of planned power outages, support throughout power outages (like providing alternative heating or cooking facilities), and other assistance tailored to the individual's needs.
This product is currently in the development stage, soon to be followed by in-market testing.
