In The Clean Energy Revolution from National Grid, Helen Skelton explores how we’re all part of one of the most incredible revolutions in human history.

This time Helen’s looking at what clean, green and renewable energy looks like in the most important place of all: home!

We all know we need to make some changes to reduce carbon emissions and fight global warming and climate change. So what’s the score for the next decade, twenty years and beyond? And what kind of decisions are you going to have to make about the place you and your family live?

Helen gets the lowdown on what the government’s Heat and Buildings Strategy means for homeowners and tenants and asks how we can make the energy transition a fair one.

She’ll be hearing about Smart home innovation with Fflur Lawton from Smart Energy GB and talking to Jinmi MacCaulay about National Grid’s research to hear what consumers think.

Richard Smith from the NHBC Foundation talks to us about designing homes fit for the future, for all of us.

And if you’re confused about finding the best energy option for your home, we’ll also be looking into some of the other options on the table. Adam Chapman, Director of Heat Geek and all-round heating myth-buster will be taking us through the fact and fiction of heat pumps.

And we’ll head to the Balcombe Estate in Sussex to meet Jamie Kirkman and find out how excess woodchip from a local sawmill is being used to power homes and businesses sustainably.
