ENERGY EFFICIENCY ACTION PLAN: REALISING
THE POTENTIAL (14349/06)
Letter from the Chairman to Ian Pearson
MP, Minister of State for Climate Change and the Environment,
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Sub-Committee considered this document, and
your Explanatory Memorandum, at its meeting on 4 December 2006.
In our recent report on the Commissions' Green
Paper on Energy, we endorsed the Paper's call for an energy efficiency
Action Plan and welcomed "action to reduce the demand for
energy" as a "vitally important goal". This remains
our view.
We agree that energy efficiency must play a
central role in the current energy debate and welcome this Action
Plan as an important first step in achieving this.
We are content to lift scrutiny on this proposal.
