Energy & Renewables Portfolio
Energy is an agenda that cuts across business, housing, transport, infrastructure and the natural environment.
It is relevant to many of the Combined Authority’s other portfolios.
Energy cost is a concern of businesses, households and the public estate
Government has just published a Clean Growth Strategy, which describes the next step in reducing carbon emissions for the UK by a legally binding target of 80% by 2050

The Clean Growth Strategy has these headlines:
• Accelerating Clean Growth
• Improving Business and Industry Efficiency – 25% of UK Emissions
• Improving Our Homes – 13% of UK Emissions
• Accelerating the Shift to Low Carbon Transport – 24% of UK Emissions
• Delivering Clean, Smart, Flexible Power – 21% of UK Emissions
• Enhancing the Benefits and Value of Our Natural Resources – 15% of UK Emissions
• Leading in the Public Sector – 2% of UK Emissions
Liverpool City Region can justifiably claim to be addressing all of these.
