Review of gas and electricity levies and their impact on low carbon heating uptake

Abstract

The research aims for the project were to investigate, set-out, and analyse low carbon levies. The report describes the current energy policy levies implemented by the UK government that consumers in Scotland face, sets out the role and value of these levies in supporting Scottish energy policy and forecasts the costs of these levies on domestic and non-domestic bills over the period to 2024-25. Finally the report sets out some potential alternative options for energy levy recovery.
