DECC are inviting comments on three consultation papers that set out the Government's near and longer term proposals for mobilising and supporting the change to a low carbon economy.


Heat and Energy Saving Strategy (HES), setting out the Government's longer-term ambitions for how we use energy in our homes and businesses;
the design of the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP), which aims to deliver significant packages of energy efficiency measures to households in low-income communities;
a 20% increase to the Carbon Emission Reduction Target (CERT) on major energy suppliers, driving significant investment in GB household energy and carbon saving by March 2011.
It  aims to formulate a successful strategy for national and local government to help people individually, and as a part of their community, to heat and power their homes and businesses in an affordable, secure and low carbon way.
