Including 7 closely related terms such as energy use, efficiency, and energy efficiency.
… and other greenhouse gases that cause climate change (e.g. reducing energy use). The other major form of climate action is adaptation actions, which are taken in response to the changes which are predicted, or are already taking place, as a result of climate change (e.g. improving flood defences). We are already taking adaptation actions and will seek to develop a similar strategic approach…
… programme required by the heat transition, regular maintenance is important to maintaining energy efficiency standards. There is also potential to reduce the carbon impact of maintenance works. 6 A14 Electricity 5% This transition is now well underway, with the grid becoming increasingly green as a variety of forms of renewable power are installed (solar, wind, hydro…
… among the lowest across all Welsh local authorities. Grid capacity and load balancing will also play an important role in local generation. Demand Reduction. Even with 100% renewable power, energy efficiency measures such as efficient appliances, better use of data and automated saving measures, as well as staff behaviour change, will be important. 7 A15…
… Sector to be carbon neutral is part of the Welsh Government’s delivery plan, ‘Prosperity for All: A Low Carbon Wales’. The plan outlines that achieving this ambition will require going beyond the most common public sector actions, such as delivering improvements to the efficiency of public sector buildings and the development of renewable energy solutions. It will also require…
… far mainly focused on areas with low levels of carbon lock-in, such as the energy efficiency of buildings and the development of renewable energy. In a number of other areas carbon lock-in is higher, with more systemic changes required, including; heating, procurement and the electrification of fleet. A long-term council-wide plan for multiple transitions is crucial to informing…
