Housing: Energy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to improve the energy efficiency ratings of residential properties in Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Warm Homes Plan will help people find ways to save money on energy bills and transform our ageing building stock into comfortable, low-carbon homes that are fit for the future, including those in the Surrey Heath constituency. The Government has committed an initial £3.4 billion over the next 3 years towards heat decarbonisation and household energy efficiency, with £1 billion of this allocated to 2025/2026.
The Government has published a consultation on improving energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector in England and Wales.
The Government is also exploring the role of incentives and private finance for households to support homeowners with the upfront costs of energy efficiency improvements and low carbon heating.
