Thank you to @mareetodd.bsky.social for speaking with us at SNP conference about heat pump uptake in the Highlands and Islands, and how households can be supported to electrify.

Over the weekend at SNP conference, we spoke to @jennimintomsp.bsky.social about workforce opportunities in the renewables sector and heat pump uptake in off-grid areas such as in Argyle and Bute. Thank you to Jenni for meeting with us and we look forward to continuing the discussion.
It was an honour to meet @johnswinney.bsky.social at SNP conference today and talk about increasing renewables in Scottish homes to tackle fuel poverty and cut carbon. We look forward to continuing to work with the Scottish Government on the upcoming Heat in Buildings Bill.
Thank you @georgeadam.bsky.social for speaking to us at SNP conference today about heat pump uptake in Paisley, how tenement reform can enable the transition to cleaner, affordable heating, and how moving levies off electricity bills would result in fairer electricity costs.
Thank you to @jamiehepburn.bsky.social for talking to us today about heat pump uptake in Cumbernauld & Kilsyth, and how we can increase installation rates - cutting the cost of electricity would lift one major barrier.
On Saturday at Scottish Lib Dem conference, @sannedd.bsky.social gave a speech calling for "bold and brave" action on the electrification of home heating - this was very encouraging to hear. The upcoming Heat in Buildings Bill must set out how Scottish Government can deliver that.
Thank you to @brianleishmanmp.bsky.social for speaking with us about the need to cut the cost of electricity. Moving levies off electricity bills and into general taxation could save the average household £120 on their bills, and would offer greatest benefits to those on low incomes.

Thank you to Yi-Pei Chou Turvey MSP for coming to discuss electricity pricing with us at #LDConf today. Shifting social and environmental levies from electricity costs into general taxation would immediately cut bills by 9%. We hope to continue the conversation with you.

Great to see Alastair Carmichael MP today at #LDConf, and talk to him about his constituency Orkney and Shetland - which ranks second for MCS Certified heat pumps in all of the UK, with an impressive 12.67% of households with a heat pump. Amazing!
Brilliant conversations with @werahobhouse.org.uk MP at #LDConf about removing social and environmental levies from electricity. Heat pump owners could save up to £280/year.
Great to meet @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social at #LDConf this afternoon, and brilliant to talk though electricity pricing and constituency heat pump trends with you. Hope to talk again soon.

Some low income households spend proportionally 3x more of their net income on energy levies than wealthier households. We've been talking about solutions with delegates at #LDConf - come visit us at stand 5 today.

The latest #EnergyPriceCap announcement highlights the disproportionate cost of #electricity in the UK. If we #CutTheCost, we could lower #bills, strengthen energy security, and reduce #CarbonEmissions all at the same time. campaigns.mcsfoundation.org.uk/page/129420/...
