Title:
St Helens HECA Progress Report 2019
Summary of Decision:
To approve and publish the St Helens Progress Report 2019
Proposed Decision:
1. To approve the St Helens Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) Progress Report 2019 and to submit to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), in accordance with the requirements of the HECA 1995 and subsequent guidance issued by BEIS. 2. To publish the report on-line via the Council's website in accordance with the guidance referred to above.
Summary of Reason for Decision:
The Council has a legal requirement to submit/publish a HECA progress report every two years.
Reason for Decision:
The Home Energy Conservation Act 1995 (HECA) requires all 326 local authorities (LA’s) in England to submit reports to the Secretary of State demonstrating what energy conservation measures they have adopted to improve the energy efficiency of residential accommodation within that LA’s area. For the 2019 reporting year, BEIS is piloting the submission of reports via a digital platform, and for this year LAs are asked to populate their HECA Report and submit materials via a SurveyMonkey submission. No other reporting material or submissions will be required. LAs continue to be required to publish their responses on-line.
Risks Associated with this Decision:
Failure to submit a HECA report will be a breach of Government requirements.
Measures to Redress Risk:
HECA report prepared in accordance with requirements.
Anti Poverty / Human Rights / Agenda 21 Implications:
The HECA progress report details activities and measures which have had a direct positive impact on poverty, health and the environment.
