Congratulations to Chris Stark on his new role! Chris has been an invaluable ally to the decentralised energy industry whilst at Climate Change Committee. His work will continue to be crucial to the UK’s transition to net zero, and we look forward to working with him at The Carbon Trust!

Snap poll from ⁦The Association for Decentralised Energy⁩ audience. Three quarters say confidence in government providing policies that allow them to invest has weakened since yesterday. Two thirds are ‘very concerned’ more changes are on the way.

A huge thank you to everyone that attended our annual President’s Reception, and of course to Lord Duncan of Springbank and Gemserv Limited, a Talan Company.

Read our round-up below to find out why heat networks are definitely no longer the dark horse of decarbonisation!

The ADE strongly supports this report and asks the government to consider its recommendations.

The thing that interests me most about the Harry and Megan documentary is THE GOVERNMENT JUST APPROVED A NEW COAL MINE OFF THE BACK OF THE HOTTEST SUMMER EVER AND WHILE TELLING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO PHASE DOWN THE USE OF COAL AND IT CAN'T EVEN SEE WHY THAT'S A PROBLEM.

Yesterday we took to Portcullis House to talk all about decentralised energy with parliamentarians and peers.

It was great to see a mix of new and familiar faces in the room - as always, a massive thank you to ADE Vice President Alan Whitehead for his involvement.

To my friends in the media:
This is a time of high drama, I agree. But while you gossip endlesly about who's in and who's out, you have almost entirely ignored the Public Order Bill that was passed in the Commons this week: the most draconian legislation of the modern era.

This week, MPs agreed that peaceful protesters, whether convicted of any crime or not, can be electronically tagged, forced to report to the police, forbidden to associate with others or to attend or encourage further protests.
Somehow this passed almost all of you by.

Upgrading owner-occupied homes is the quickest route to decarbonising the UK’s housing stock – so why aren’t we doing it?

We are very pleased to have co-authored the below article with Andrew Selous MP MP in ConservativeHome - read on to find out more...

I’ve resigned from British Cycling.

Energy efficiency is the fastest way to permanently reduce energy bills.

Caroline Bragg, Director of Policy at the ADE, said: “There’s a need to do more now. At this time especially, you’d want the government stepping up and showing initiative.'

'Although fuel prices in Denmark have risen by almost 50% since 2012, in August 2022 heat from heat networks cost 7.4% less than in August 2021. Heat network prices remain on par with those of 2012'

Energy policy must protect the present and fund the future.

At Heat and Decentralised Energy 2022, experts from the energy, decarbonisation, policy and investment sectors will be exploring how to do just that.
