The lack of budget financing for the thermal power industry dictates the need to attract private capital through public-private partnerships (PPPs). PPP is beneficial to both sides: the state receives resources and competencies for modernization, and business receives income and reputation growth. The paper considers concessions in heat supply as the main tool of the PPP and a tool for long-term tariff regulation, the method of price zones of heat supply (the "altcoil" method). An analysis of Russian heat supply systems and an assessment of the selected mechanisms has been carried out, disadvantages and advantages have been identified. Based on the selected financing instruments of the industry, a mechanism for choosing the optimal investment attraction option is described and proposed.
