Can decentralised energy really work here?
A sizable portion of the ‘gap’ could be closed through energy efficiency alone – delivering a substantial economic savings at the same time. Government figures show that there is the potential to save over 30% of all energy (not just electricity) used in the UK solely through efficiency measures that would also save more money than they cost to implement. Government puts the total saving for consumers for this level of efficiency improvement at £12 billion.
