ADE & UKPN Zoning for heat and energy efficiency | Webinar resources

On Wednesday 5 August, the ADE hosted a webinar to launch our new paper “Zoning for Heat and Energy Efficiency” in partnership with UK Power Networks, who simultaneously launched their complimentary “Heat Street” Project. 

Green Recovery the central theme at the ADE virtual President’s Reception

The President’s Reception is an annual occurrence in the ADE events calendar, and is a firm favourite for those who attend. This year’s reception was held on the evening of Tuesday 14th July, with attendees from across the decentralised energy sector. Current events meant that we were forced to get creative, hosting our guests on Zoom rather than with the customary lunch at the House of Lords. As an alternative celebration, after some thought and with kind support from event sponsor, Vattenfall Heat, we were delighted to partner with Coolhurst Vineyards to provide each attendee with a bottle of Côtes de Provence rosé to enjoy during the reception.

Energy efficiency groups urge Chancellor to introduce energy efficiency retrofit scheme

Ahead of the Economic Statement scheduled next week, nine energy efficiency industry groups, including the ADE, have come together to write to Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, calling for the introduction of major energy efficiency stimulus within the UK economic recovery package.
