Make new building developments run off a minimum of 25% of renewable energy

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We want Parliament to introduce a policy to ensure that all future commercial and residential building developments accommodating 50 or more people are powered off a minimum of 25% renewable energy sources.
We want Parliament to help us make a cleaner future for all in the UK. Starting by tackling the biggest users of fossil fuels; larger residential buildings and workplaces. We want this as of 2020, the UK is 76.5% dependent on fossil fuels. This high consumption of damaging resources puts our future in jeopardy.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want new buildings to be powered by renewable energy, but we're not sure if you want the Government to require new buildings include renewable power generation, or that energy supplied to building must be from energy suppliers that generate a certain proportion of their energy from renewable sources.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

New planning regulations on all new houses - climate conscious energy supply: New planning regulations on all new houses - climate conscious energy supply.
