Enertechnos has today responded to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy‘s (BEIS) consultation on Facilitating Energy Efficiency in the Electricity System. As we set out in our response, it is absolutely critical that any approach to energy efficiency includes support for improving transmission and distribution networks, and tackling the UK’s problem of energy
The Committee on Climate Change has published its report with the headline recommendation that the UK adopts a new emissions target of net-zero by 2050. This target is welcome. In reducing our carbon emissions we should be nothing short of bold and ambitious. However, the report fails to tackle a crucial issue which is undermining
