Edinburgh Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy and Delivery Plan

Overview

The Edinburgh Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) and Delivery Plan aim to:

• Improve energy efficiency
• Reduce carbon emissions
• Reduce fuel poverty

The Edinburgh LHEES identifies where and how to adapt buildings to reduce emissions and identifies potential heat network zones.

The Delivery Plan concentrates on actions between 2024 to 2028. It prioritises areas where actions may be easier, cheaper, or have a known outcome. For example, adding loft insultation means less heat escapes through the loft.

Actions are designed to be achievable under current policy, economic and operational restraints. The Delivery Plan covers preparation, followed by learning and piloting phases, and activity increases as resources permit.
