EUA gives evidence at Energy and Climate Change Select Committee

18th Nov 2015

 

The Energy and Utilities Alliance, EUA, gave evidence yesterday, 17th Nov. at the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee hearing on ‘Home energy efficiency and demand reduction’.

As the leading not for profit trade association of the UK energy industry, EUA are well placed to advise the Committee representing members from right across the heating supply chain.

Head of External Affairs, Isaac Occhipinti said “I am delighted that EUA are recognised by the Committee as being one of the ‘go to people’ on energy efficiency. Together with our members we work incredibly hard to find appropriate solutions to tackling home energy reduction which in turn helps us as a nation cut our carbon emissions.

I asked the Committee to make a commitment to a single, simple long term cross party energy policy. This would help avoid the ‘stop-start’ nature of policies like Green Deal and help improve both industry and consumer confidence.

We need to stand in the homeowners shoes and understand the barriers, be they lack of funds or limited understanding that prevent them from installing measures within their homes.”
