Thanks @transparent

From the Reform councilors and MPs you have spoken to, do you think Reform would do better than Labour on Net Zero?

Expect them to favour small home-based battery storage, rather than BESS-farms which are controlled remotely.

er why, given that net zero is 'stupid' and therefore battery storage unnecessary.

Clearly some of these players are used to tap into the fossil fuel greenwashing cash (much of it foreign). The main goal is to divert and confuse. 😐 

My starting question would be: "Given that climate change is a fact and the mechanisms to reduce it are there to use, why would we not use common sense to seek good return on investment? And presumably, no policy decisions should ignore what worked and the expert and voters learnings when those solutions were trialled?".

There is a difference between no longer pursuing Net Zero and making best use of energy resources.
...

Using batteries to store that electricity is a common-sense decision.

If ROI is clear, why not? If individuals want to do it themselves...

So if Government scraps Net Zero, you either waste the energy, or else you facilitate a mechanism to store it locally.

That's why Reform Members are likely to be more in favour of home-based batteries.
It's a vote-winner, and it prevents bills rising further.

In the current parliament, what % of MPs support scrapping Net Zero? 😆 

The average cost of a home BESS could not be much less than 3k to supply and install safely. If that saves £500 per year in bills, that is just over 6 years pay-back. The thing is, unless a home already decarbonised its transport and/or heating, that £500 may be £200...  

But maybe the thinking here is a business model where people would be doing something for the community? 

So how much would you expect them to would pay home owner to host it?  Would the buildings insurance need an upgrade to cover it? Who would own the system, and give it the care and attention? 

Could a rental property be used for it? Like some landlords would like to get some extra rent, like they tried with mobile phone masts?  😉
