Abstract

Sets out the government's plans for meeting the target of a reduction of 29% in non-traded carbon emissions from the household sector. The plans envision a wholesale transformation of how energy is used in homes. The proposals will make it easier for people to take action, removing the deterrent of upfront costs and reducing the hassle of the move to greener living.
