The Scottish Government managed to beat the UK Government to getting their Heat in Buildings Strategy Statement announced in Parliament
The key points I took from it were:
Net Zero target for heating buildings is 2045
2030 target to have 68% lower emissions (from heating buildings) than 2020 level, requiring over 1,000,000 homes to be made zero carbon this decade.
Vague statement that "most" homes must be EPC C or better by 2030
More definite statement that all homes (where feasible and cost-effective) must be EPC C or better by 2033
Legislation to be introduced in 2025 requiring any home changing ownership or tenancy to be EPC C or better at point of sale
Earlier date set at 2028 for all private rental homes to be EPC C or better
Ban on installing fossil fuel boilers from 2025 for off-gas properties
Ban on installing fossil fuel boilers from 2030 for all properties
The only zero carbon heating technology I heard mentioned was Heat Pumps.
Interesting costing stated within the 1st question after the Statement that the average investment for each home to improve to EPC C is £17,000.
The UK's statement is due this month, after being delayed from Spring this year.
