HSEnergy Group’s Neil Mitchell Appointed to Advisory Board of Policy Liaison Group for Future Homes
HSEnergy Group is proud to announce that its Managing Director, Neil Mitchell, has accepted an invitation to become an Advisory Board Member of the Policy Liaison Group (PLG) for Future Homes, a Parliamentary Advisory Group focused on advancing UK housing policy on energy efficiency and sustainable development. This prestigious appointment positions Neil among key industry influencers working at the forefront of shaping vital policy areas that aim to decarbonise UK homes.
With over 10,000 customers, HSEnergy Group has long been a pioneer in the renewable energy sector, dedicated to helping households and businesses become energy independent. Neil’s new role will enable him to bring insights from the sector directly to Parliament, helping to inform critical policy areas, including the upcoming 2025 Future Homes Standard and innovative energy models aimed at improving energy performance in both new-build and existing homes.
The PLG for Future Homes will focus on improving housing retrofit and new-build standards, creating tangible changes that address energy efficiency gaps across the UK. A recent report from the Office of National Statistics highlighted the need for change, with over half of England and Wales registered properties falling below the Government’s Decent Homes Standard. Neil will be part of a collective effort to ensure policy decisions reflect the expertise and practical considerations of the energy sector.
In addition to providing direct feedback to policy-makers, Neil’s role with the PLG includes networking with other board members, participating in regular advisory meetings, and contributing to briefing papers for parliamentarians. Through his involvement, HSEnergy Group is set to gain valuable insights into emerging policies and help drive forward actionable, sustainable housing practices that benefit both local communities and the environment.
This appointment reflects HSEnergy Group’s commitment to future-led energy innovations and highlights Neil’s dedication to enhancing the UK’s housing standards for a greener, more sustainable future.
Neil Mitchell said:
“Joining the Policy Liaison Group for Future Homes is an honour and a significant opportunity to drive forward initiatives that align with HSEnergy Group’s mission to provide cost-effective and sustainable energy solutions.”
“Decarbonising homes is a national priority, and I am excited to represent our community and contribute to policy developments that will make energy-efficient, healthy living accessible for everyone.”
Nick Miles, Chairman of the Policy Liaison Group for Future Homes:
”I am delighted to have HSEnergy join the PLG for Future Homes as an Advisory Board member. HSEnergy has a phenomenal story to share with policymakers, exemplifying the resourceful, enterprising, and solutions-driven businesses that populate our sector.”
“Neil Mitchell’s unique expertise in solar installation and batteries is a tremendous asset to the Group. I look forward to having him and HSEnergy colleagues participating in our discussions and policy analysis to support parliamentarians’ understanding of common challenges facing the green transition and how best to configure the complex array of solutions available.”
