ENERGY EFFICIENCY COMMITMENT

That this House welcomes the Government's consultation on an extension of the Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) as an opportunity to improve measures to improve energy efficiency; notes that extending such improvements to cover the period 2005 to 2011 will help the Government achieve its carbon emissions reduction targets and fuel poverty eradication; further notes that EEC 2005 to 2008 (EEC 2) must deliver a genuine doubling of the energy savings delivered by the current EEC (2002 to 2005) and that a third phase of EEC from 2008 to 2011 (EEC 3) should deliver a tripling of current savings; further welcomes the proposal to end 'double-counting' and improved interaction between EEC 2 and Government fuel poverty programmes; but is concerned that DEFRA has not followed the Treasury's example regarding kick-starts for the market for micro CHP and domestic heat pumps by stating that the new EEC will be used to assist those technologies, subject to satisfactory field trials.
