Hi all,
The Sustainability and Net Zero policy team are looking to respond to a consultation released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero titled ‘Boiler Upgrade Scheme and Certification requirements for clean heat schemes’. The policy team look to provide government authoritative, impartial advice, ensuring that engineering is central to policymaking. It is vital that government schemes are informed by practical experience, therefore we would love to hear your thoughts and expertise regarding the consultation which can be found here: Boiler Upgrade Scheme and certification requirements for clean heat schemes - GOV.UK
This consultation is in two parts with part 1 seeking views on proposed amendments to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) which provides grants to support property owners in transitioning to low carbon heating (LCH) systems.
Part 2 seeks views on the government’s proposal to require the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) as the sole certification scheme for clean heat installations delivered through:
- BUS
- Energy Company Obligation 4
- Warm Homes: Local Grant
- Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund
If you would like to be involved in our response, please DM (Direct Message) me via EngX or respond to the post with your thoughts. If you are unable to join the working group but still have something you want to say on this topic, please respond to this post over the coming days.
