HPA UK response to Government Seventh Carbon Budget
Commenting on the Government’s Seventh Carbon Budget, HPA UK Chief Executive Charlotte Lee said:
“Today’s Government decision to adopt the CCC’s recommended targets for the Seventh Carbon Budget proves yet again that electrification remains firmly on the agenda. To meet this ambitious level of emissions reduction, we must decarbonise heat from homes and buildings. Moving at pace to do so will not only benefit the consumers who will see increased comfort and reduced energy bills, but also stimulate economic growth and local jobs, reduce our reliance on volatile fossil fuels and provide healthier homes.
Our latest analysis evidences this, with the heat pump sector contributing £1 billion to the UK economy in 2025, with the potential to grow to £15 billion by 2035. Heat pump related employment could also grow to over 110,000 jobs by 2035. The transition to electrified heat presents a significant economic and industrial opportunity, and today’s new targets emphasise this further, providing certainty for the sector and potential investors. The Seventh Carbon Budget must now be supported by a clear plan and delivery at pace.”
