This is fantastic news, for the UK renewables industry, for households' bills, and for our national energy security. Great to see a wide range of stakeholder support for this very positive announcment from Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Ed Miliband.


Listen to our CEO Garry Felgateās interview with Christopher Golds on LBC News discussing the #FutureHomesStandard.

Many thanks Luke Murphy MP for your support! Absolutely right to say that reducing electricity prices is urgent and vital. If we want to both tackle fuel poverty and incentivise the switch to clean heating, then we must cut electricity costs by moving levies into general taxation.

At our āIncentivising #HeatPump Uptakeā event in #Parliament last week, we spoke with Irene Omaswa of Ambient. Irene highlighted the vital role heat pumps play in reaching #NetZero by moving from #FossilFuel heating to clean, efficient #electric systems. youtube.com/watch?v=nFdxkgā¦
