Responding to the Government’s announcement on the Heat & Buildings Strategy, Energy UK’s chief executive Emma Pinchbeck said:
“Converting our homes to low carbon heating is a major challenge on the road to Net Zero but one that will help to deliver more comfortable houses heated with affordable clean energy, as well as providing better air quality, reduced emissions, jobs and investment.
“Having a strategy and target in place, with financial support for customers, means our industry can get on with the job of rolling out low carbon heat options like heat pumps and heat networks at scale, driving down costs and increasing the choices on offer for customers.
“The current situation underlines the need to get on with making sure that customers are no longer left exposed from our dependence on gas.”
