GLASGOW, Scotland, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a letter addressed to the Secretary for Energy and Net Zero, Mairi McAllan, Prof. Pearson and 24 other signatories – representing various parts of the supply chain – underlined the Bill's central role in combating climate change and improving energy efficiency in homes.

Key Points: 
  • The Scottish Government's recent announcement that the 2030 climate target will be scrapped is a blow to the country's efforts towards a greener future.
  • The letter also called for the UK Government to advance electricity price reform, making clean heat the more cost-effective solution.
  • Heat offtake legislation without this will fail to see clean heat delivered and the employment opportunities that underpin a Just Transition will simply not arise."
