The document outlines targets for the UK to increase energy efficiency by 20%, reduce CO2 emissions by 20%, and source 20% of energy from renewables by 2020. It describes how a typical home built in the 1970s emitted 7 tonnes of CO2 per year, but upgrading insulation reduced emissions to 5 tonnes, and a smart electric home today using smart appliances and 15% renewables can emit 3.2 tonnes. The smart grid enables further CO2 reductions to 2.3 tonnes by 2020 and 1.6 tonnes by 2030 as the grid continues to decarbonize.

19. Carbon Content of UK Grid on 26 April 2010 – average 400g/kWh

21. Our new Smart Home will use 8,000 kWh (+ 15% on-site renewables)

22. 1.0 – 4.0 kW load per Smart Home is manageable, depending on season

24. Conclusion Electricity holds the key to meeting Europe’s future domestic energy needs and meeting CO2 reduction targets by focusing both on clean grid generation and efficient use of that energy.

25. We must work TOGETHER for a cleaner, more energy efficient future. Electricity IS the fuel of the future.
