Climate Change Minister MP will face questions from
the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
Committee in the final session of the energy efficiency
inquiry.
The inquiry is
examining the Government’s overall approach to delivering energy
efficiency improvements to buildings and whether it is showing
enough ambition in encouraging homeowners, businesses and
landlords to upgrade.
The Minister is likely to face questions on the Government’s
progress towards meeting energy efficiency targets set out in the
Clean Growth Strategy, how the Government intends to bridge the
investment gap and whether energy efficiency will be made a
national infrastructure priority. The session will also explore
whether the Government is on track to meet fuel poverty energy
efficiency targets and whether those living in the most fuel poor
homes are being adequately supported.
The session will also examine how the Government intends to
stimulate the able to pay market to deliver energy efficiency
improvements, reforms to building regulations to ensure
housebuilders stop building homes that will need to be
retrofitted, and policy on energy use in commercial buildings.
