In a policy document titled 'Delivering clean heat: a policy plan,' Nesta has outlined a series of urgent policy reforms for the UK government to swiftly implement to accelerate the decarbonisation of heat in homes and buildings. The charity urges clarity on heat decarbonisation aims, including rebalancing electricity costs and setting a timeline to end all natural gas boiler installations. The document also advocates for revising taxes on electricity prices to make operating heat pumps cost-competitive with gas boilers in the long term. Additionally, Nesta calls for the establishment of a national agency to oversee heating and efficiency schemes, promote low-carbon heating, and rule out hydrogen for home heating. The report emphasizes the need for a substantial increase in heat pump installations to meet the country's carbon budgets and climate obligations. By implementing these proposals, Nesta estimates that households could save around £400 annually on energy bills. The charity stresses the importance of protecting vulnerable members of society and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels. Nesta's sustainable future director, Madeline Gabriel, highlights the urgency for the new government to reverse energy policy drift and take decisive action on home heating. Marcus Shepheard, a sustainable future policy manager at Nesta, emphasizes the transformative benefits of scaling up the heat transition, including enhanced energy security and cost-effective, warmer homes for millions of people.
