The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to accelerate (a) retrofit and (b) home upgrades for social housing residents.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government’s Warm Homes Plan will improve the existing housing stock by tackling fuel poverty and ensuring lower energy bills for decades to come. The Autumn 2024 Budget confirmed an initial £3.4 billion for heat decarbonisation and household energy over the next three years. This includes £1.8 billion to support fuel poverty schemes, with £1.29 billion of grant funding allocated to Wave 3 of the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund in England to support social housing providers and tenants, with delivery starting in April 2025.
