🎆After just over 20 years, I have finally cleared my student load balance! 🎉💰 I "only" had ~£17K when I graduated (5 years inc 1 in london), but with doing a PhD and 2 maternity leaves, it has taken a loooong time to clear. 🤑

The story of energy efficiency policy in the UK has been a bumpy ride. In our latest blog, Mitya Pearson explores the lessons of the last 15 years of energy efficiency policy, for the future of policy in this area and climate change action more broadly. ukerc.ac.uk/news/buildin...
