Energy Performance Certificates: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing minimum energy performance certificate requirements for owner occupied dwellings at (a) sale and (b) purchase.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The government is considering options to ensure a fair, proportionate and affordable approach to improving the energy performance of owner-occupied homes. The Warm Homes Plan will offer grants and low interest loans to support investment in insulation and other improvements.
We will also work with the private sector, including banks and building societies, to provide further private finance to accelerate energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating.
