The Peterborough Accelerated Net Zero (PANZ) project is reshaping local energy decarbonisation.

It focuses on accelerating the adoption of low-carbon solutions through the deployment of heat pumps in rural, off-gas communities and expanding district energy networks.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

This is masterful storytelling and great journalism.

The Committee and secretariat congratulate @chrisstark.bsky.social on being awarded a CBE in the New Years Honours list. Chris oversaw the production of over 100 publications, including six UK progress reports. www.theccc.org.uk/2024/12/31/c...

Bar chart shows the number of heat pumps installed each year in the Climate Change Committee’s 6th Carbon Budget Balanced Pathway. To stay on track to meet legally binding carbon budgets, the UK needs to keep pace with these figures (it is very hard to make up for it elsewhere if we fail on heat). Up to 2024, the number of annual installations was below 200,000, but in 2025 that increases to nearly 400,000. By 2029, it exceeds 800,000 a year.

Morning.
2025 is the year the UK needs to start installing a lot more heat pumps - or other low carbon heating systems - if we’re to keep pace with our climate commitments.
A lot of work to do…
