Heat in Buildings Bill consultation - tell us what you think: easy read
An easy read version of our consultation on proposals for a Heat in Buildings Bill - Changing how we heat our homes and buildings. We are seeking to set standards for energy efficiency and clean heat in homes and buildings.
Changes to laws we already have
Our Heat in Buildings Strategy sets a target that 22% of Scotland's heat should be from clean heating systems by 2030.
22% means more than 2 out of every 10 systems should be clean heating.
The target does not show if Scotland has less carbon dioxide emissions.
We can change this in The Heat in Buildings Bill.
In 2021 Scotland passed a law called the Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021 to support the growth of heat networks.
In 2023 the UK Parliament passed the Energy Act 2023.
We may need to change our 2021 Act so it links with the Energy Act and to make sure heat networks have rules to follow.
We also want to know if you think more changes could be made to the Act to support heat network services.
