This consultation is being undertaken with the aim of drafting a planning policy statement on eco-towns. By 2016, all new homes will be 0 carbon homes. This government consultation proposes a definition of zero carbon new homes, based on their high energy efficiency and carbon reduction on or near to the homes. It also proposes allowable solutions for dealing with the remaining emissions. The following European Commission energy consultation is currently open. The Commission is seeking views on what the EU should do to stimulate the necessary investment to advance projects which will help secure sustainable, reliable and affordable energy supplies for the future.
