With an estimated 15m homes needing a form of energy efficiency improvement work, the insulation policy targeting 300,000 homes falls well short of the ambition needed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Powering Up Britain contained little in the way of incentives for the majority of consumers and businesses to create low-carbon, energy-efficient properties. Further expected announcements by the government look set to push back decarbonisation of the built environment, including a now 12-year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/heat-pumps-are-three-times-more-efficient-than-gas-boilers-only-18-of-engineers-know-how-to-install-them-studies-show\/122909\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phasing out of gas boilers<\/a> and delays to create higher EPC-rated homes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;RICS will continue to work with UK Government, the Energy Efficiency Taskforce and Net Zero Coalition to push for greater resources towards creating a low-carbon UK, recognising the important role surveyors have in supporting the net zero transition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;A long way to go and not much time to do it&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Declan McGeeney, director of UK infrastructure at Laing O\u2019Rourke, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome today\u2019s step forward in the development of small modular reactors, but if we are to meet\u00a0net zero\u00a0targets, we also need more gigawatt facilities like Hinkley Point C to increase domestic production of the reliable, always-on, low\u00a0carbon\u00a0power that\u00a0nuclear\u00a0provides.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that after decades of under investment in our national energy infrastructure, we still have a long way to go and not much time to do it. The Government is doing the right thing in seeking to speed up the planning process to accelerate\u00a0renewable energy\u00a0investment. Delivering a nuclear facility can take two decades, but half of that is needed to secure planning consent. This must change so that we can move from planning to delivery mode.<\/p>\n<p>The Government and\u00a0construction industry\u00a0also need to work more closely together to find ways to accelerate progress. For its part, the industry needs to increase productivity. As a proud member of the UK\u2019s new nuclear supply chain that\u2019s delivering HPC, we\u2019re very focused on this and have already identified improvements that will help us deliver Sizewell C \u2013 and SMR facilities &#8211; in less time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A missed opportunity for retrofitting<\/h3>\n<p>Julie Hirigoyen, chief executive at UKGBC said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Government has today doubled down on new clean energy generation, a positive stimulus at this febrile moment for energy security. But it has missed an opportunity by failing to publish a comprehensive national plan to curb the staggering levels of energy waste from our homes and buildings. Without this, we\u2019re trapped into unsustainable demand for heat and electricity, making it extraordinarily difficult to see how we\u2019ll pay our bills or hit our climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitiatives such as the ECO+ scheme and extension to heat pump support, while welcome, will only reach a fraction of the 27m homes that need retrofitting. Similarly, reforms to the planning system do not include the net zero test recommended by Chris Skidmore MP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs our climate emergency intensifies, the Government should be leading from the front by seizing the opportunities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/why-the-uk-needs-a-national-war-effort-mobilisation-to-tackle-the-energy-and-sustainability-crisis\/120894\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a nationwide retrofit plan<\/a> that would deliver \u00a356bn to the UK\u2019s green economy, slash energy bills to save households \u00a38bn every year and create 500,000 skilled jobs in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that the Government makes use of the opportunities to get on track offered by the Energy Efficiency Taskforce and amendments to the planning system through the Levelling Up Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government has announced a series of investments to secure the UK&#8217;s energy independence, but industry experts are concerned the plans fail to address existing energy waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[277,430,673,93645],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-123799","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-energy-news","7":"tag-built-environment","8":"tag-energy-efficiency","9":"tag-energy","10":"tag-net-zero"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Government outlines multi-billion energy revolution on its &#039;Energy Security Day&#039;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Industry experts are concerned that plans announced on &#039;Energy Security Day&#039;
