Dr Alex Mardapittas, CEO at Powerstar, said:

After a frustrating period where the Government seemed to have overlooked the importance of energy efficiency in the energy transition, the subject received some welcome focus in the Autumn Statement. Ambitious new efficiency improvement targets and new funding both represent important drivers in improving the UK’s energy efficiency. Put simply, the cheapest and cleanest unit of energy is the one that we don’t use, and energy efficiency is one of the most powerful tools available to us, whether that is individual homes, businesses or the UK collectively, when it comes to mitigating rising energy costs and decarbonising our energy sector.”
