IGEM welcomes the opportunity to respond to the consultation on the future Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) methodology. We support the aim of creating a more accurate and meaningful metric for consumers and policymakers. However, we are concerned that several elements of the proposed Heating System Metric risk pre-determining outcomes in favour of specific technologies rather than reflecting the real emissions performance of homes. A technology-agnostic, evidence-based framework is essential to ensure consumers are supported to make practical, fair, and cost-effective choices during the transition to net zero.

IGEM welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s (DESNZ) consultation, Gas system in transition: security of supply, on behalf of our members. We support the Government’s recognition of the continuing importance of gas during the energy transition and its commitment to work with industry to ensure that energy security, resilience and infrastructure capacity is maintained through the 2030s and beyond.

IGEM welcomes this consultation and the government’s ambition to ensure that every building can transition to low-carbon heat, including hard-to-decarbonise properties. As an organisation representing gas engineering expertise across the UK and the rest of the world, we support a whole-systems approach that uses the strengths of multiple energy vectors and avoids prematurely narrowing the range of viable solutions.

This report sets out a bold and necessary vision for the future of engineering in the UK, recognising the vital role engineers and technicians will play in addressing the challenges of climate change, digital transformation, infrastructure renewal and social equity.

Response from the Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers (IGEM) to Stonehaven’s Powering Homes, Powering Growth report.

The new strategy sets out an ambitious, evidence-led roadmap to secure the skilled workforce needed for the UK’s energy, water, and waste sectors. With the UK poised for its largest infrastructure build-out in nearly a century, the strategy is clear: “Skills are not just a business priority, they are a national imperative.”

The Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM) welcomes the opportunity to respond to the DESNZ consultation on hydrogen blending into the GB gas transmission network.

IGEM welcomes the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy, the 2025 Spending Review and the 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy for their strong alignment on decarbonising Britain’s industrial future and our energy system - with particular recognition of the gas sector’s role in delivering net zero and a secure, low-carbon industrial future.

We welcome the opportunity to respond to this consultation and aim to represent the collective views of IGEM Members and our gas industry stakeholders.

IGEM Royal Patron, Kings Charles III, has delivered the King’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament.

This IGEM policy brief outlines key policy asks for the new Labour government, urging support for a comprehensive energy system integration, biomethane growth, net zero workforce development and more.

IGEM encourages the Scottish Government to fully harness the potential of Biomethane to reduce carbon emissions across the gas network.

Achieving net zero means reaching into the lives of everyone – those with, and those without. Those most vulnerable to change stand to suffer if we don’t get it right.
