UKGBC odgovara na izvješća u vezi s budućnošću obveza energetske tvrtke

Sljedeći izvješća iz Timesa da Ministarstvo financija HM-a razmatra smanjenje sheme obveza energetskih kompanija (ECO) usred zabrinutosti oko porasta cijena plina, UK Zelena zgrada Vijeće je danas objavilo sljedeći komentar.

Simon McWhirter, direktor komunikacija, politike i mjesta pri UKGBC:

We’re extremely concerned to read reports today that the Government is considering scrapping the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. ECO is currently the only UK-wide scheme delivering energy saving measures for low income and vulnerable households. It therefore plays a vital role in helping reduce energy bills for those households, protecting them from fuel poverty and it would be both short-sighted and very damaging if it were scrapped. Zelena Naknade trenutno čine samo 3% računa za plin i nisu krive za porast računa za komunalne usluge. Najsigurniji i najsigurniji način smanjenja računa za energiju u kućanstvima je smanjenje potražnje za energijom u svim našim... domova.

The UK has one of the oldest and leakiest housing stocks in Europe, which is the outcome of failures by successive governments to address the retrofit challenge in a coherent and coordinated way. With energy bills becoming unaffordable, UKGBC is calling on government to translate this moment of crisis into an opportunity to launch a National Retrofit Strategy. This will protect households from energy price rises, end fuel poverty, slash climate emissions and create a new nationwide jobs boom in the building sector. In the meantime, ECO remains vital and should be carefully protected.
