Conclusion
Ineffective historic heating policy and the absence of a clear, strategic policy direction for low carbon heating has created confusion and uncertainty in the transition to low carbon heating and has affected investor confidence. We welcome the long overdue publication of the Heat and Buildings Strategy. However, a greater amount of clarity is required to give the sector certainty and a clear direction of travel.
