New HECA Reporting Service - Available from SE2
This year marks the beginning of a new approach to local government reporting on the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act, known as HECA reporting.
Local authorities will have to submit a report to Government by the end of March 2013, covering:
- Their local energy efficiency ambitions and priorities
- What they are planning to do to take advantage of initiatives and incentives such as Green Deal, ECO, Feed-in Tariffs and RHI in their local housing stock
- What they are planning to do to improve energy efficiency using area-based or community-driven approaches
- A timetable for delivery and details of partnership working
This is a time of change for many local authorities. To help with the transition to a new reporting structure and to provide additional resource to authorities that are struggling for time, SE2 has developed a new service to support and enhance HECA reporting. We offer three levels of service:
Compliance: fulfilling the basic requirements of HECA and providing the authority with the tools and templates to produce update reports every two years
Compliance and readiness: producing the required reports, supporting delivery of plans through inter-departmental workshops and delivering a strategic assessment of the authority's readiness to implement and deliver its plans
Compliance, readiness and engagement: as above, with additional support to develop a prospectus for investment in local energy conservation to attract businesses and funding, and activities to engage local supply chain businesses with the Council's plans
You can find out more about which service is right for your authority here. Alternatively, call Liz Warren on 020 8469 1333 or email liz.warren@se-2.co.uk to discuss your specific requirements.
