The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he will confirm funding for the Great British Insulation Scheme for the 2025-26 financial year.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is not a government funded grant scheme, but an obligation on larger energy suppliers to provide energy efficiency support to eligible households through the installation of one insulation measure per home.

GBIS is scheduled to run until March 2026 and is funded through consumer bills, under the price cap.
