New analysis: One in ten households need to install a heat pump during this Parliament to meet the UK’s climate obligations

➡️ Nesta’s comprehensive plan sets out roadmap for how new Government can decarbonise home heating
➡️ 3 million homes need to install heat pumps or other low-carbon heating during this Parliament  
➡️ If enacted, the plan would save a typical household around £400 per year on energy bills when switching from a gas boiler to a heat pump

Home heating is currently responsible for 14% of the UK’s carbon emissions - not far below their 1990s peak. Nesta's new plan sets out how to scale up the energy transition and get the UK back on track for net zero.

📣 A new report by Nesta has found that having more than one heat pump running in a street won't audibly increase noise levels.

We commissioned consultancy Apex Acoustics Ltd to report on the noise impact of multiple air source heat pumps in terraced and semi-detached housing areas.

We found that multiple air source heat pumps do not typically generate noise levels that would be distinguishable from a nearby single air source heat pump installed within MCS guidelines. 

This is the case even if the heat pumps generated their top noise levels at full power all at the same time in a neighbourhood with the densest possible terraced housing.

The Delphi method - a research approach used to gather multiple expert views - could be an underutilised asset in policy development. 

As part of our UK 2040 Options project, we set out to draw on collective wisdom as we consider policy options to get the UK to a better place by 2040. The Delphi process helped us to draw on a wide range of expert perspectives, giving us a large funnel to filter the issues we're exploring - from net zero to education and health.

A new blog by Ben Szreter, Esme Yates and Rachel Carter deep dives into this method and outlines why it could hold significant promise as a versatile tool for policymakers. https://bit.ly/46DlGc7

The UK Government has launched Great British Energy, the new state-owned clean power company. New analysis from Nesta's Ravi Gurumurthy and Baringa finds GB Energy could reduce costs to consumers by £35 billion by 2050. 

Report authors Ravi Gurumurthy and Baringa’s Duncan Sinclair will be live in conversation to discuss the role of the state in the GB energy market. 

Join us to hear more about the analysis and recommendations, 6 August 14:00-15:30.
