Energy Performance Certificates: Business Premises
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of proceeding with phase 2 of the non-domestic minimum energy efficiency standards.
Answered by Sarah Jones
Non-domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards are a key tool in helping businesses reduce their energy bills and strengthen the UK’s energy security, with the potential to deliver £millions in annual energy bill savings from the proposed EPC B deadline. This policy is a part of government’s mission to deliver clean power by 2030 and accelerate to Net Zero. The standards required under the regulations will also generate demand for skilled building retrofit and energy assessor jobs, building on the existing grants for training.
