Community Energy Savings Programme (CESP)
…up to GBP 350 million of efficiency measures. CESP promoted a "whole house" approach i.e. a package of energy efficiency measures best suited to the individual property. The programme was delivered through the development of community-based partnerships between Local Authorities (LAs), community groups and energy companies, via a house-by-house, street-by-street approach. This partnership working allowed CESP to be implemented in a way that was best suited to individual areas and co-ordinated with other local and national initiatives.

Austria
Austria is committed to reaching climate neutrality by 2040. Over three quarter of electricity generation already comes from renewables, with a target of achieving a 100% renewable electricity supply by 2030 (national balance). This requires investments to make networks more resilient and flexible, optimise demand side management, and updating the legal and regulatory framework to allow more consumer participation. Buildings and transport account for around half of total emissions . To progress the transition in these sectors, the government supports building renovation, switching from fossil fuels to sustainable heating systems, the electrification of transport and invests in public transport infrastructure.
