THE SHOW FOR PEOPLE WHO BUILD<br />
We start <strong>September</strong> with the publication of a<br />
UKERC briefing paper on “Unlocking Britain’s<br />
First Fuel: The potential for energy savings<br />
in UK housing” which reveals that potential<br />
energy savings to 2035 is approximately<br />
equivalent to the output of six nuclear power stations<br />
the size of Hinkley Point C. Not an<br />
insignificant saving or one that should be ignored.<br />
The message is strong.<br />
Clean Growth Plan<br />
buildings down, by delivering a buildings energy<br />
infrastructure programme to bring all UK homes<br />
up to EPC Band C by 2035. By doing so we can<br />
start to help deliver a high quality, sustainable<br />
programme, that can repair and restore business<br />
confidence and unleash investment in the industry<br />
- ensuring a long-term for improving building<br />
energy performance. Ultimately, we will be<br />
best positioned to inspire consumer confidence<br />
with an industry fit for the future and fit for the<br />
UK.<br />

LAUNCHES<br />
The Clean Growth Plan in <strong>September</strong> sits very<br />
neatly with the launch of Frontier Economics’<br />
report “Affordable Warmth, Clean Growth” which<br />
will present government with a practical blueprint<br />
for delivering a stable, high quality energy<br />
efficiency programme. The report will draw on<br />
the high standards of workmanship and delivery<br />
supported by stringent regulations and use of<br />
best practice. The report provides the solutions<br />
and the complementary detail which the Clean<br />
Growth Plan may be light on.<br />
Frontier Economics Report<br />
We look towards the Parliamentary launch of the<br />
Frontier Economics report in mid-October – an<br />
event sponsored by one of our supporters, Conservative<br />
MP Antoinette Sandbach along with a<br />
tri-All Party Parliamentary Grouping of PRASEG,<br />
Intelligent Energy and Fuel Poverty and further<br />
supported by Lord Deben. The first time Parliamentarians<br />
will be introduced with a complete,<br />
long-term and high quality energy efficiency plan.<br />
Inspire Consumer Confidence<br />
Our message to newbie minister, Claire Perry<br />
is to support our aspirations and commitment<br />
to keeping energy costs in British homes and<br />
