National targets
Outcome: Deadlines
Emissions ‘By 2020 we will cut (non-traded) emissions from homes to 29% below
1. 2008 levels’ (LCTP p.82)
2020
reduction target
Outputs:
‘6 million homes will have been insulated under the Carbon Emissions end
2. 6 million homes Reduction Targets, Decent Homes, the Community Energy Saving
2011
Programme and Warm Front’ (LCTP p.16)
Lofts and cavity ‘All lofts and cavity walls in Great Britain insulated where practical” and 2015
3.
walls “400,000 homes will benefit from “whole house” treatments’ (LCTP p.17)
4. Heat ‘Around 12% of heat *in total across all sectors+ is generated from 2020
renewable sources...’ (LCTP p.17)
‘Up to 7 million homes will have had the opportunity to take up more
substantial ‘whole house’ changes. These packages will go beyond the
5. 7 million homes 2020
simple loft and cavity wall insulation measures to include things like
solid wall insulation or small scale renewable energy ‘ (HESS p. 17)
‘By end of 2020 every home in Great Britain will have a smart meter’ 2020
6. Smart meters

CERT extension – current consultation
• Higher target of 293 MtCO2 – suppliers to invest extra
c.£2.4 billion
• Insulation minimum at 65%
• Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs no longer allowed
• New Super Priority Group obligation

microgeneration with no upfront cost
• Payments from projected savings
• Five pilots announced, 7th of Dec 2009:
• Birmingham
• Sunderland
• Sutton
• Stroud
• South East
• To test financing / delivery models, and
consumer appetite
