Abstract

To tackle climate change to meet net zero, the electrification of residential heat is proposed to be a key action. Significant changes to the energy system - including the upgrade of the energy networks and increasing renewable energy generation capacity - will be needed alongside the installation of new heating systems in people’s homes. This project aims to:
• Analyze key impacts on the energy system and the associated costs of incorporating varying levels of electrification and energy efficiency.
• Investigate the economy-wide impacts across regions/sectors/household income groups, with a particular focus on low-income households and fuel poverty.
• Assess how different Government interventions, including direct public investment, levies and grants, affect the nature and level of economic benefits.
• Liaise with key policy stakeholders on how emerging understanding of key societal and political economy consequences may impact public and private sector decisions.
