Towards an Industry for Green Heat: heat in buildings supply chains delivery plan

Footnotes

1 Our Heat in Buildings Strategy estimates that at current levels of demand, each year around 3000 zero emissions heating systems per year are installed, and around 45,000 properties are improved to EPC level C.

2 Cost expressed in real terms (today’s prices). This estimate is based on a high electrification pathway. Other pathways could result in a different distribution of costs (for example with lower building level investment costs but higher costs upstream in the energy system). Note that it is possible that as technology develops and the market scales up, real costs could fall over time. By way of comparison, there have already been very significant falls in the costs of renewable electricity generation.
