Ahead of the Scottish Government’s introduction of a Warm Homes Bill and following closure of the Scottish Government’s consultations on its draft energy strategy and design of the Scottish Energy Efficiency Programme, this seminar provided a timely opportunity to discuss the policy priorities for improving energy efficiency in Scotland.
Delegates discussed the key issues for domestic energy efficiency within Scotland, including the possible avenues for finance and investment; the role of the Energy Company Obligation in reducing fuel poverty; and opportunities for reducing energy demand through district heating, retrofitting and sustainable design.
Further sessions focused on how the Scottish Government can meet long-term carbon emissions targets through improvements in industrial and commercial energy efficiency, focusing on technological improvements, funding strategies and business engagement.
Speakers and other delegates were an informed group including members of the Scottish Parliament, senior government officials involved in this area of public policy, together with representatives from the energy supply and efficiency sectors, local government, business and academia, finance and legal, environmental and consumer groups along with further interested parties.
