We just need the industry to still be there by the time the details of the Warm Homes Plan come in to play.

Heating up: Towards a new generation of warm home schemes The next ECO scheme should focus on consumers’ needs, be delivered through area-based partnerships, and have a specific focus on health and social outcomes.

We've set out the key pillars we see as essential to designing the next generation of warm home schemes, delivered locally through area based partnerships, centred around the consumer experience, targeting health and social outcomes. es.catapult.org.uk/report/heati...

ECO is dead. It's easier to try to rebuild public trust in fuel poverty and energy efficiency schemes when you burn the previous government's policy down rather than tinker with it. It is, however, harder to keep supply chains going and the industry's capacity to be there and rebuild it with you.

For all bike related things, Broken Spoke is now the only remaining bike shop left in the centre of town!

Making the energy transition fair and inclusive The transition to cleaner energy is an opportunity to improve access so that everyone can reliably use and afford energy services essential for health and wellbeing.

💡 "Making the energy transition fair and inclusive" by George Day offers an alternative way of framing the inclusive energy transition by improving 'energy access' across society. tinyurl.com/mrfszh6b

Fair Futures Fair Futures explores the opportunities for innovation to address fuel poverty & better understand the issues faced by vulnerable energy consumer groups in the UK.

Both publications form part of our Fair Futures work, innovating to end fuel poverty in vulnerable households. Do get in touch if you're interested in working with us: es.catapult.org.uk/what-we-do/c...

We've published two new reports that explore the policy changes needed to make the Warm Homes Plan and wider energy policy deliver for low-income and vulnerable households.

Fuel poverty isn’t just a social challenge, it’s a climate challenge. Millions of UK homes are still cold, and if national warm home programmes don’t evolve, neither will our progress on Net Zero.

🔥New report "Heating up: Towards a new generation of warm home schemes" looks at opportunities beyond ECO4 to transform warm home schemes by centring around the consumer, delivering through area-based partnerships, focusing on health & social outcomes with affordable clean heat. tinyurl.com/yuhcm566

The Living Lab The Living Lab is a network of volunteers from all around the UK, who help researchers understand how real people use energy in real-life settings.

Fancy getting a new efficient, heating system for free?

We're looking for homeowners with electric heating and smart meters to join our research project (note we are looking for quite a select target group - so please pass on to anyone you think might fit the bill/benefit).

Post from LinkedIn: Antonia Mattos Energy Research at DESNZ Would you like a free heating system and to inform DESNZ research on low carbon homes? Is your home electrically heated? Do you have a smart meter installed? If so, joining the Homes for Net Zero research programme could help save you money on your energy bills and make your property more energy efficient. You could be eligible for a range of benefits, including the opportunity to have an air-to-air heat pump installed in your home, worth up to £7,000, completely free of charge.

📣 Net Zero Klaxon! 📣
Really interesting DESNZ funded trial for people with electrically heated homes (& smart meters) to have a range of measures - including some Air to Air heat pumps - installed for free!

More articles about England devolution should feature xkcd and cheese.

Yes user error sorry... got it now thanks!

Hi Lucie, this looks really interesting. Is there an open access version available anywhere?
