The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has welcomed the ambition of the government’s Net Zero Strategy, but called for further steps to implement policy quickly.
The government is to offer grants of £5,000 for the installation of heat pumps from April 2022 as part of a new £450 million scheme to upgrade domestic heating infrastructure.
New processes mean Western Power Distribution (WPD) can now approve most new connections for domestic electric vehicle (EV) chargers and heat pumps on the same day or the next day.
