This report sets out a comprehensive and cost-neutral policy framework to improve the energy efficiency of the UK’s housing stock. It argues that this would provide an immediate and long-lasting solution to energy affordability, boost GDP through job-creation, and reduce both carbon emissions and the UK’s reliance on gas imports. This report sets out the reasons why current policy, such as the Green Deal and the Energy Company Obligation, is failing, and proposes a new integrated energy efficiency and fuel poverty framework called ‘Help to Heat’. The policies included in this framework would make improved efficiency and substantial bill reductions available to thousands more households through free energy efficiency assessments, low-cost financing options, local economies of scale and improved supply chains, greater competition and effective targeting of fuel poverty need.
