Good to catch up with @ClaireforTAY at #LDConf, discussing how we can increase heat pump uptake in Thornbury and Yate and across the country. Cutting the cost of electricity by moving levies off bills is a key step to making that happen.

Thank you to @libdemdaisy for speaking to us today at #LDConf about ways of cutting the cost of electricity to incentivise clean heat and tackle the cost of living.

Moving levies from electricity into general taxation would tackle the cost of living crisis and boost heat pump uptake.
Yesterday we welcomed @mpmwilko, @JonathanBrash, @ShockatAdam, Wendy Chamberlain, @cajardineMP & Hannah Spencer to discuss this, in collaboration with @PRASEG
The King's Speech intends to bring forth an ‘energy independence bill’, to help transition the UK energy market away from fossil fuels @energygovuk We need to make sure that a commitment to clean heat is part of this, to move households away from fossil fuels @_MCS_Foundation

Really great event @nesta_uk with @martinmccluskey delivering a key note speech on the Warm Homes Plan @energygovuk and decarbonising homes and heating and reducing energy bills @_MCS_Foundation A good time to move the remaining Social Environmental tariffs into general taxation

We were delighted to welcome @martinmccluskey MP, Minister for Energy Consumers, and his team to the MCS office yesterday. The Minister spoke with our Senior Leadership Team about a record-breaking 2025 and how we can continue to drive uptake into 2026.
@energygovuk
What a great year for the @_MCS_Foundation We have lobbied on the CHMM which happened in April, had the FHS announced by @Ed_Miliband so new homes have heat pumps, solar PV and no gas. The BUS has been extended to 2030 and we campaigned and lowered electricity prices by £150

A new report by @AldersgateGrp, and supported by The MCS Foundation, maps #HeatPump skills. There are 76,000 workers who could enter the heat pump sector – what is needed to support that transition? The report looks at that question.

Really great to attend the @LCEF_UK event at Sustainable Ventures with the Defra Sec of State Emma Reynolds @EmmaforWycombe DESNZ Secretary @Ed_MilibandMP, @PollyBLabour and @AnnelieseDodds All tariffs need moving off electricity to deliver net zero @_MCS_Foundation @energygovuk

Ahead of the Budget, The MCS Foundation has warned that any cut to the funding or delivery of impactful government incentives for heat pump uptake would be economically damaging to the sector, stifle growth and disrupt supply chains. Read more: mcsfoundation.org.uk/news/th…

Commenting on reports that Rachel Reeves is planning on restricting heat-pump subsidies in the upcoming Budget, @jessralston2, @ECIU_UK said:
"Any slowdown of the roll out would clearly put the UK’s energy security and independence in jeopardy."

The Guardian is reporting that support for heat pumps may be cut in the upcoming budget.
A chaotic situation with a potential outcome which risks jobs, economy and drives up bills over the long term and well as further pushing climate goals out of site.
