The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Mr. John Denham)

There were a number of councils who put forward proposals pressing the Government to focus on improving energy efficiency and incentivising the development of renewable energy within communities. On 2 March we published the “Warm Homes, Greener Homes: A Strategy for Household Energy”, which addresses many of the issues raised by the proposals under the SCA. The introduction by the Government of feed-in tariffs in April this year and the launch next April of the renewable heat incentive will also help to address these critical issues.
