Direct subsidies needed to achieve energy efficiency?
January 24th, 2006
The UK Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes has launched a new webpage for members to put forward their views on issues in energy efficiency and fuel poverty.
Andrew Warren, the Vice-Chair, makes a point about the role of direct subsidies in the domestic sector. He cites a change of policy in Germany, taking “a giant step forward” by setting up a new programme, designed to bring all pre-1978 homes up to contemporary energy standards by 2025.
Is this not also an essential mechanism for the entire commercial and tertiary sector, both of which have problems in relying on other driving forces and incentives?
