@ChiefExecCCC welcomes @RishiSunak’s strong commitment to Net Zero and the UK’s legal commitments made at COP. However, he is concerned about the rolling back of some policy initiatives and his main worry is the undermining of certainty and the damage to investor confidence – at Islington, London

A bit of a break from discussing the PM's announcements now to talk about adaptation at @theADEuk's #DECONF2023 where Tadj Oreszczyn from @ucl talking about the likely need for active cooling and how we manage this without making the energy transition harder

Snap poll from @theADEuk audience. Three quarters say confidence in government providing policies that allow them to invest has weakened since yesterday. Two thirds are ‘very concerned’ more changes are on the way.

Really interesting project from Metropolitan's Bruce Geldard on their Heateopolis project at @theadeuk #DECONF2023. Not only inverting the electricity demand curve but working actively with the DNO to develop commercial mechanisms for reduced distribution electricity impacts

The PM started his speech yesterday by saying it was time to be 'honest' with the British people, and yet this tweet is all lies
NONE of these are current Govt policies
The PM is #gaslighting the nation
We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.
We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.
ALT Decorative graphic saying: We’re stopping heavy-handed measures: X Taxes on eating meat. X New taxes to discourage flying. X Sorting your rubbish into seven different bins. X Compulsory car sharing. X Expensive insulation upgrades. A new approach to reach Net Zero.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Taxes on meat and flying had already been repeatedly ruled out by the Government.
There is no proposal to require people to have seven bins, or for "compulsory" car sharing.
The announced changes on insulation only stand to benefit private landlords. inews.co.uk/news/seven-rec…
More needs to be done to "warm the public up to heat networks" according to our panel at the #DECONF2023. Do industry have a role to communicate the benefits of HN's with the public?

Political signalling is important according to @dustin_benton on today’s panel discussion at the Decentralised Energy Conference @GreenAllianceUK @theADEuk @James_BG @IPPR @SMFthinktank @LisaTrickett41 – at Islington, London
Attending the live plenary panel on 'Cash for Connections' chaired by Phil Taylor and featuring an expert lineup. Eager to hear insights on accelerating low-carbon connections in the UK. Listening closely! #Supergen #CashForConnections
Naomi Baker at #Supergen points out the 'elephant in the room': The need for prioritisation in the queue for energy connections. She emphasises that a comprehensive connections plan must be addressed urgently. #EnergyConnections #Prioritisation"
Question from @SheridanFew: When it comes to community engagement for infrastructure deployment, should the approach be project-specific or aligned with a national strategy? And is the focus solely on networks, or decarbonisation at large? Questions of geographical scale
Audience observation at #Supergen: Transitioning to a sustainable energy future can't be rushed if we aim to do it democratically. The democratic process requires time for thorough community engagement and consensus-building.
Insight from a DNO at #Supergen: There's a backlog for energy connections. Overhead options face planning hurdles, making undergrounding the default—yet more expensive—choice. Challenges include supply chain issues, skills gaps, and competition for materials with broadband instal
Insight from the Scottish Highlands at #Supergen: The debate around onshore wind touches on perceptions of the land. While some view the Highlands as a natural landscape, it has been an industrial area for centuries.
Audience perspective from Ghana at #Supergen: Community engagement is minimal, often confined to environmental impact assessments. Despite opposition, nuclear projects proceed. The delegate is keen to learn from the UK's approach to community involvement.
We're at the #Supergen Energy Networks Conference today, hosted at the Royal Academy of Engineering. Looking forward to a day filled with insightful discussions on the future of energy systems. #RoyalAcademyofEngineering
