The Committee is particularly interested in the following questions as they relate to: electricity generation, reducing energy demand, renewable energy (renewable electricity and renewable heat), interconnection and grid issues, and industry.
- What is your assessment of the progress to date in cutting emissions within the sector/sectors of interest and the implementation of the proposals and policies set out in previous Climate Change Plans (RPP1-3)?
- Do you think the scale of reductions proposed within the sector(s) are appropriate and are the proposals and policies within the CCPu effective for meeting the annual emissions targets and contributing towards the 75% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 and net-zero by 2045 targets?
- Do you think the timescales over which the proposals and policies are expected to take effect are appropriate?
- To what extent do you think the proposals and policies reflect considerations about behaviour change and opportunities to secure wider benefits (e.g. environmental, financial and health) from specific interventions in particular sectors?
- To what extent do you think the CCPu delivers a green recovery?
