DECC reveals CHP and housing energy plans

摘要

British households will be able to receive expert, targeted help to reduce their fuel bills and access low-carbon heat and power in their homes, under a long-term Heat and Energy Saving strategy, announced by the Department of Energy and Climate Change. A draft plan sets out the need to reduce household carbon emissions to almost zero, in order for the UK to achieve its ambitious target of an 80 percent cut in emissions by 2050. By 2030, the aim is for whole-house improvements to be available to householders in every home, in every street. The plan, which has been published for consultation by Ed Miliband, Hazel Blears and Margaret Beckett, includes proposals for improving the quality and widening the availability of information and advice, new finance packages and options for the delivery of energy efficient and low carbon improvements.
