Area-Based retrofit and the case for a neighbourhood energy transition fund
09:50 - 10:30
How do we scale retrofit to decarbonise 29 million homes? WMCA and its partners have submitted a proposal to DESNZ for the creation of a National Neighbourhood Energy Transition Fund (NEFT) . The NETF is a national investment fund with regional programme allocations and delivery. Cheryl Hiles from the WMCAs Energy Capital & Rufus Grantham from Living Places will explain the problem and their proposed solution.
