  • The Final Report of the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP) 2009-2012
    The final report of the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP) 2009-2012 Final Report Contact: Aileen Duffy Reference: 65/13 Team: Energy Efficiency Publication date: May 2013 Email: [email protected] Overview: This document is the final statutory report on the Community Energy Saving Programme 2009-2012 (CESP). It provides details on the achievement of the targets and obligations under the programme, which ended on 31 December 2012. CESP required certain gas and electricity suppliers and certain electricity generators to deliver energy saving measures to domestic energy users in specified low income areas of Great Britain. Energy companies were required to achieve an overall target of 19.25 million lifetime tonnes of carbon dioxide (Mt CO2) by 31 December 2012. Energy companies achieved 16.31 Mt CO2, almost 85% of the overall target. Ofgem/Ofgem E-Serve 9 Millbank, London SW1P 3GE www.ofgem.gov.uk The final report of the Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP) 2009-2012 Context The government has introduced a range of policies to reduce the United Kingdom’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. Currently, about 25% of UK emissions result from energy used to heat and power our homes. The Community Energy Saving Programme 2009-2012 (CESP) was a policy, set down in legislation, designed to improve domestic energy efficiency standards in the most deprived geographical areas across Great Britain. CESP was a separate programme to the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) which made energy efficiency measures available to all consumers. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) was responsible for setting the overall CESP target and for designing the statutory programme through which this target was to be achieved.
