Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 21 October 2024UIN 8746

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much funding he plans to provide for home insulation in each of the next three years; and if he will make it his policy (a) for all homes to have an efficiency rating of band C or higher by 2035 and (b) to publish the Warm Homes Plan by the end of 2024.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Funding announcements will be confirmed at the upcoming Spending Review.

The government is considering options to ensure a fair, proportionate and affordable approach to improving the energy performance of owner-occupied homes. We will consult this year on proposals for private and social rented homes to achieve Energy Performance Certificate C or equivalent by 2030.

The Warm Homes Plan will offer grants and low interest loans to support investment in insulation and other home improvements. We will set out further detail on delivering our Warm Homes Plan next Spring.
