Recommendation 11

Paragraph: 65
Slow rollout of flexible energy technologies delays significant cost savings for consumers.
Conclusion
The flexibility in the GB energy system provided by the development of demand- side response and energy storage capacity can provide significant cost savings to consumers. But the current slow rate of rollout and take-up of flexible technologies which can benefit from demand-side response is delaying the realisation of these benefits. The Government’s 2035 targets of 600,000 heat pump installations a year and 100% of new cars being zero emission both face real challenges.
