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.

We have launched a report revealing a value-action gap in how UK homeowners' approach #EnergyEfficiency. While many recognise the comfort & cost benefits of #retrofitting, for many it's at the bottom of their #renovation priorities. mcsfoundation.org.uk/news/homeowner…

We welcome the announcement in today’s #SpendingReview that the #Government has committed to fully funding the #WarmHomesPlan. The Warm Homes Plan will not only help homeowners to access #renewable heating technologies, like #HeatPumps and reduce bills.

Today Nesta launches a nationwide scheme that supports newly-trained #HeatPump installers to access a fully funded heat pump. Pilot results found a boost in confidence and skills amongst installers, helping them to transition into the industry. StartAtHome.org.uk

After yesterday's call by Climate Change Committee for electricity to be made cheaper for consumers, our CEO Garry Felgate writes in Daily Express on the fairest way to achieve that, by moving levies into general taxation: express.co.uk/finance/person…

We welcome the #SolarRoadmap which sets out the many ways in which we can maximise #British potential for clean, cheap #electricity. Read our response: mcsfoundation.org.uk/news/the-mcs-f…

Fantastic to see Garry Felgate, our CEO, in The House magazine speaking about the UK’s high #electricity pricing. Removing levies from electricity #bills would accelerate the adoption of #renewable technology and reduce #energy costs for households. library.myebook.com/thehouse/the-p…

New figures from EHPA show a significant gap in #HeatPump uptake across #Europe. The UK has a long way to go to catch up with #European neighbours, but is on a positive upward trajectory. mcsfoundation.org.uk/news/european-…

Delighted to feature Charlotte Lee Heat Pump Association (HPA), who spoke to us at our #Parliamentary Reception about the record number of #HeatPumps sold in 2024, the importance of @MCS certification, & the role of the #BoilerUpgradeScheme & ECO in driving uptake. youtube.com/watch?v=g6MT5a…

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 ā€˜Incentivising #HeatPump Uptake’ 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=nFdxkg…
