This chapter considers how delivery of our ambitions to save energy and to deploy options for low carbon heating and cooling will affect greenhouse gas emissions, security of supply, energy prices, fuel poverty, the environment and UK economic growth.


Chapter Summary

The proposals in this document explore the best ways to deliver the carbon savings that we have identified in previous strategies, as well as looking at options for going further than these existing policies. This chapter sets out some of the wider impacts of these proposals on UK emissions, energy prices, security of supply, sustainable development and the economy.
