Last week was big for UK net zero and energy regulation, with four major updates that organisations should be aware of as they plan compliance, investment and decarbonisation strategies. The changes cover: ​​​​​​

• The Seventh Carbon Budget, setting the direction for emissions reduction in the late 2030s
• Stronger regulation of heat networks, affecting owners and operators
• The launch of a new net zero buildings standard, shaping future expectations for the built environment.

Head of Consultancy, Timothy Holman, summarised what each update means in practice and what organisations should be thinking about next. ​​​​​​​
