Carbon Emissions: Housing

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help make decarbonisation (a) affordable and (b) feasible for consumers who are not connected to the mains gas grid.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Our Warm Homes Plan will offer grants and low interest loans to support investment in insulation, low carbon heating and other home improvements to cut bills. It will be focused on making it economically worthwhile for people to transition to clean sources of heating, including for those living in properties off the gas-grid.

We will announce further policy detail of the Warm Homes Plan in due course. Currently, alongside consumer advice sites, the Home Upgrade Grant and Boiler Upgrade Scheme are in place to support those not connected to the gas grid to decarbonise.
