Closed petition Reduce energy use by Government and Parliament by 15%

Closed on 29 May 2023

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has said that he wants energy consumption to be reduced by 15% by 2030, and that consumers could save up to £500 by reducing their energy usage by 15%. We want the Government and Parliament to lead by example and reduce their own energy usage by 15%.

In light of the Government's ambitions for reducing energy usage, and comments by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on domestic energy use, I would like to see the Government and Parliament reduce the energy consumption for which they are responsible by 15%, benchmarked against previous usage.
