Fuel Poverty: Surrey
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to tackle fuel poverty in Surrey in winter 2024-25.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
There are multiple targeted schemes to deliver energy efficiency measures to low-income and fuel poor households. The Warm Home Discount schemes also provide a £150 rebate off bills to eligible low-income households across Great Britain.
The Government has kickstarted delivery of the Warm Homes Plan, including an initial £1.8 billion to support fuel poverty schemes over the next 3 years.
We will consult shortly on proposals for privately rented homes to achieve Energy Performance Certificate C or equivalent by 2030. We are also reviewing the 2021 fuel poverty strategy.
