Energy Performance Certificates: Housing

Asked by Lisa SmartLiberal DemocratDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 30 April 2025UIN 46932

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what comparative assessment he has made of the potential impact of EPC band requirements on (a) all homeowners and (b) homeowners with (i) detached and (ii) bungalow-style properties.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

We have recently consulted on reforms to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to ensure these are better aligned with our key policy objectives of achieving Clean Power by 2030 and accelerating to Net Zero, and effectively delivering the Warm Homes plan to reduce peoples bills and address fuel poverty.

The consultation has now closed, and we are analysing the responses. As part of this we will consider the impact on relevant groups including homeowners and will publish the Government response in due course.
