Energy Performance Certificates: Rented Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the press release entitled Warm homes and cheaper bills as government accelerates Plan for Change, published on 7 February 2025, what assessment he has made of the feasibility of upgrading the 52% of rented homes in England that are not already at Energy Performance Certificate C level.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The recently closed consultation proposed new minimum energy efficiency standards for private rented homes and was accompanied by an options assessment. We have engaged widely with stakeholders during the consultation process and will use this feedback to inform the Government’s response to the consultation, which will be published in due course with a further impact assessment.
