Energy: Conservation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure a widespread adoption of minimum energy efficiency standards.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Government is consulting on increasing minimum energy efficiency standards in the domestic private rented sector, including proposals for rented homes to achieve EPC C or equivalent by 2030. We will consult shortly on introducing minimum energy efficiency standards in the social rented sector which would form part of the Decent Homes Standard.
We have also reviewed the responses to our 2019 and 2021 consultations on an EPC B trajectory for minimum energy efficiency standards in the non-domestic private rented sector and plan to publish a response in the early part of 2025.
