| Abstract |
This response acknowledges the recently announced 10 point climate plan, and includes some initial comments as follows:
- We welcome that a target of 600,000 heat pumps is included in the plan as this provides some clear direction for industry. However this is purely a target and it requires a thorough policy and governance framework to both support deployment and protect consumers.
- Despite the clear case for district heating, it is overlooked in the plan, and there is a lack of focus on energy efficiency despite the expected centrality of both of these technologies.
The inquiry questions, where UKERC evidence and analysis can provide relevant insights, are then addressed drawing upon UKERC reports and the wider literature in order to provide evidence based answers to a number of the Committees core questions. |
