To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he is taking steps to help domestic energy customers to (a) reinsulate their homes and (b) replace their boilers.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government’s Warm Homes Plan will support investment in insulation, low carbon heating and other home improvements to cut bills. We will set out full details in due course.

Targeted schemes currently in place to deliver energy efficiency measures to low income and fuel poor households include the Energy Company Obligation and the Great British Insulation Scheme. The Boiler Upgrade scheme offers grant support to consumers wishing to replace their fossil fuel heating system.

We have also announced a new Warm Homes: Local Grant and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, with delivery expected in 2025. Support will be targeted at low-income homeowners, social housing and private tenants in England with energy performance upgrades and cleaner heating.
