The UCL Energy Institute hosted an announcement by the Energy and Climate Change Minister of a £39 million investment in research to support energy efficiency policy and contribute to cutting carbon use and greenhouse gas emissions. The Rt Hon. Gregory Barker MP announced funding for five new End Use Energy Demand (EUED) research centres, of which the UCL Energy Institute is the only centre based in London. The centres will look into the complexities of energy use across society and bring valuable insight into how energy can be both saved and used more efficiently. The Minister said: "We have now put energy efficiency at the very heart of the Government's energy policy. Using energy more wisely is absolutely vital in a world of increased pressure on resources and rising prices. Not only can energy efficiency help save money on bills and cut emissions, it can support green jobs, innovation and enterprise.
