Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the report to the UK Government, Each Home Counts.
Answer
The Scottish Government has long held the view that the UK Government should look to strengthen their consumer protection frameworks and industry standards in the energy efficiency market and therefore we welcomed the review when first announced.
Now that it is published we will carefully consider the review’s recommendations as part of the development of Scotland Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP). We are currently consulting on programme and policy options for SEEP until 30 May 2017. As part of this consultation we are asking how best the programme can build consumer confidence, ensure quality delivery and how it can integrate with the findings of the Each Home Counts review.
