When we build a NEW Home, we use NatHERS to do the thermal performance modelling of the home prior to building, which is great! BUT, then we don't actually confirm that the home performs thermally as designed once it's built. What is the logic in that??? We have no real understanding of whether what we are building is actually any good. Unless you verify a home's performance post-construction, the certificate that says that it's 6 or 7 Stars isn't really worth the piece of paper that it's written on. The whole system needs a major overhaul.

In the second video of our #EnergySurvey series with National Grid, Ben Wilson sets out their five priorities for planning the energy transition and how they are working with the government to reform the system. With government policy now looking to drive improvements in areas such as planning and investments, businesses should look to realign their focus to deliver for the future. Find out more about the considerations that companies should prioritise as they drive their energy transition ahead: https://pwc.to/3JABcLn @Quentin Cole @Vicky Parker #IndustryinFocus

Amid a polarizing presidential election, areas of common ground are rare, especially around energy. However, one step back from the daily partisan back-and-forth reveals an idea with something for everyone to support: increasing choice when it comes to where consumers get their energy. Rooted in American values of freedom and competition in the market, polling data from Renewable Energy World shows that three out of four voters want the power to choose their energy supplier. However, most people have little say in who provides their energy and how much it costs. The long-standing system, built on outdated infrastructure and a utility monopoly model, is failing to keep up with technological advancement. Times have changed but the system has not. We have the tools to create a resilient, clean, and more personalized energy industry by moving away from the control of a single utility. A hybrid model of centralized and decentralized assets would lower costs, improve reliability, and allow for more sustainable options. The restructuring of the U.S. power industry can be a rare bipartisan area of agreement. It would address climate change concerns while promoting competition and innovation—values that Americans across the political spectrum can get behind. Rather than pitting renewable energy against fossil fuels, let’s focus on consumer choice versus continued protection of the status quo monopoly power companies. Read more on RealClearEnergy.

It's a good week for energy geeks! I've been working through the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero REMA second stage consultation paper and options analysis with colleagues in the Foot Anstey LLP Clean Energy team, and we share our initial thoughts on some of the key provisions. We're still going through the fine details and analysis, but overall it seems to be a pretty sensible set of potential reforms being taken forward (Regen neatly referring to this as "Progressive Market Reform"). There is still a lot of complexity to work through within REMA and then in implementing the reforms themselves - not to mention resulting changes that would be required to the connections process and planning system if certain measures were to be adopted (looking at you, Zonal Pricing!), but overall I'm feeling positive and looking forward to spending more time with these documents in coming days. #REMA #energy #energytransition

🌟 Exciting Developments in the Clean Energy Sector! 🌟 Today, the U.S. Senate confirmed Judy Chang, David Rosner, and Lindsay See as Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) commissioners. This marks a significant step forward for our energy future, ensuring a full, bipartisan Commission ready to tackle the pressing challenges ahead. As an advocate for equitable climate investments and finance, I am particularly encouraged by this progress. The Commission's upcoming tasks—expanding interregional transmission, deploying advanced transmission technologies, reforming energy markets, and improving the interconnection process—are crucial. However, we must also prioritize equity in these efforts. It's essential that the clean energy transition is inclusive and just, ensuring that historically marginalized communities benefit from these advancements. By centering equity, we can create a sustainable future that uplifts all communities and addresses systemic disparities. Let's work together with Commissioners Chang, Rosner, and See to accelerate the clean energy transition in a way that is equitable, inclusive, and beneficial for everyone. #CleanEnergy #EquityInEnergy #RenewableEnergy #FERC #Sustainability #InclusiveFuture https://lnkd.in/ehJxBgCn
