Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate she has made of the number of additional homes that will need to apply to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme as a result of delays to the implementation of the Future Homes Standard.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Future standards this year will ensure our new homes and buildings are fit for a net zero future. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is reviewing feedback from the Future Homes and Building Standards consultation and will publish the standard specification in due course.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a demand-led scheme, so uptake will depend on consumers' interest.
