Recommendation 12

Delivering net zero by 2050 will require a ban on the installation of fossil fuel heating systems by the mid-2030s at the latest. We note that the Government signalling, instead of setting, an end-date for the phase out of gas boilers fails to give industry and consumers a clear date to work towards in decarbonising home heating. We urge the sector to come forward with more ambitious plans for pricing and innovation to encourage a robust regulatory framework.
