Local Authority Engagement in UK Energy Systems: Highlights from Early Findings
Abstract:
Key Research Findings:
- The majority of Local Authorities have ambitions for action on sustainable energy, and 82% of those researched are active to some degree
- Local Authorities were more likely to have an Energy and Carbon Plan than investment in projects
- Local Authority investment in energy was focused on infrastructures for combined heat and power alongside the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings
- Across the UK, Scotland had a higher proportion of leaders in providing low carbon systems – the leading Local Authorities in England were in Yorkshire & Humber, Greater London and the North East
- The scale of Local Authority energy projects in relation to overall energy systems remains limited
- Local Authorities have very limited capacity for strategic energy managemen
