The policy proposals are intended to improve the policy framework by:
simplifying reporting and taxes to reduce administrative burdens
targeting policy levers at cost-effective energy efficiency potential identified in business sectors and heat use
using policy instruments to help raise the profile of energy efficiency and carbon reduction with decision makers, and
improving the case for investments in energy efficiency and low carbon alternatives.
The consultation closes at 11.45pm on 9 November 2015. See www.bit.ly/1VobVBI.
