Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Government's current energy efficiency schemes are targeted at consumers with low incomes and those in the least efficient households in the UK.
Through the Warm Homes Plan, we will invest an extra £6.6 billion over the next five years in clean heat and energy efficiency, upgrading five million homes through solutions like low carbon heating and improved insulation. We will set out the full details of our Warm Homes Plan, and the approach to Net Zero Buildings more broadly, after the completion of the Spending Review Process.
