Recommendation 30

We recommend that the Government reapportions environmental levies to improve the financial attractiveness of electrified heat and to encourage the uptake of electrified low carbon heating systems incrementally over several years. The levies should reflect the relative carbon emissions of gas and electricity. We further recommend that this reapportioning must be accompanied by mitigating negative impacts on the fuel poor and vulnerable consumers, for example through targeted financial support programmes focusing on fuel poor households.
