🌟The Dutch Insulation Programme was launched last week.
👎I can't help but compare to the woeful lack of focus on insulation in today's British Energy Security Strategy and the UK Heat and Buildings Strategy.
Some highlights from the Dutch approach from which we can learn 🧵 1/7

Headline: aim to insulate 2.5 million Dutch homes by 2030. That's about 30%!
Focus on the worst first - those with energy label of E, F or G (which make up about 20%). This is important for #energypoverty alleviation. 2/7

The plan sets out 4 combined approaches to insulating 2.5m homes by 2030 (machine translation below). Nice combination of area-based, individual and collective approaches. 3/7
But how much insulation is enough?
The plan links to the Home Insulation Standard. 1m homes are expected to reach the standard and others put on the path.
This standard aims to ready homes for renewable heat when the gas network is phased out. 👀tinyurl.com/37yus567 4/7

£4 bn funding. But additional?
✔️ district/municipal approaches, local vouchers on top of national f&f
✔️ budget & level of subsidy ⬆️, 30% up from 20%
✔️support for DIY as limits in supply chain
✔️ National Heat Fund expanded & focused on finance for who can't self-finance. 5/7

🔥 Plus a subsidy for disconnection from #fossilgas grid from 2023. 6/7
The National Insulation Programme is announced alongside a national communication campaign and sits within a broader strategy outlined by @dijksternote at the @ACEEEdc conference yesterday. See the recording aceee.org/2022-internati… 7/7
