1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 An Energy Efficiency Strategy was proposed in the Sustainable Development Strategy for Scotland, 'Choosing Our Future' published in 2005 and again in Scotland's Climate Change Programme: 'Changing Our Ways' which was published in 2006. The publication of a strategy was postponed until 2007 so that microgeneration could be included. Bringing together energy demand and small scale generation allows a more holistic approach to achieving a low carbon future for Scotland.
1.2 A draft Energy Efficiency and Microgeneration Strategy for Scotland was published for consultation in March 2007 (i.e. shortly before the elections in May 2007) in order to gather views from all sectors on current and future energy efficiency and microgeneration policy in Scotland. A total of 38 responses were received which have been analysed to produce this Consultation Analysis Report.
1.3 The Report consists of a breakdown of respondents followed by an analysis of the main findings from those responses. The Scottish Government is publishing a separate response to the issues raised during the consultation.
