I've got a new blog up on @Nesta_Scotland's view on the Scottish Government's plans for a Heat in Buildings Bill, focussed on the proposal to require home buyers to decarbonise their heating. nesta.org.uk/blog/linking-he…

Linking heat pumps to house purchases in Scotland could be revolutionary

Stipulating heat pump installations at the point of house purchase could add to home values and incentivise convenient finance models for homeowners

Rebalancing gas & electricity prices is essential for heat pump take up Plans to shift green levies into general taxation would reduce the cost of electricity from 24p per kWh under the current cap to 20p If gas stays at 6p per kWh the spark gap is 3.3 telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Household electricity bills could be slashed by £142 in green rethink

‘Crazy’ addition of renewables levies blamed for holding back progress on net zero

Wow! Renewables job growth in Scotland - from 27,000 to 42,000. At this rate of growth, clean energy jobs could be a year or two from overtaking oil & gas which employs around 70,000. And that's before all the jobs fitting heat pumps, ev chargers, etc bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6…

Huge jobs growth seen in Scotland's renewables sector
