Energy Efficiency Commitment
EDM number 1723 in 2003-04, proposed by Sue Doughty on 13/10/2004.
That this House welcomes the Government's consultation on an extension of the Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) as an opportunity to improve measures to improve energy efficiency; notes that extending such improvements to cover the period 2005 to 2011 will help the Government achieve its carbon emissions reduction targets and fuel poverty eradication; further notes that EEC 2005 to 2008 (EEC 2) must deliver a genuine doubling of the energy savings delivered by the current EEC (2002 to 2005) and that a third phase of EEC from 2008 to 2011 (EEC 3) should deliver a tripling of current savings; further welcomes the proposal to end 'double-counting' and improved interaction between EEC 2 and Government fuel poverty programmes; but is concerned that DEFRA has not followed the Treasury's example regarding kick-starts for the market for micro CHP and domestic heat pumps by stating that the new EEC will be used to assist those technologies, subject to satisfactory field trials.
This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
