Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to increase levels of consumer choice in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Government is always considering how to improve access to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) to boost deployment and support more property owners to transition to low carbon heating.
On 30 April, the Government launched a consultation on potential changes to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, including proposals to support air-to-air heat pumps and alternative electric heating technologies such as heat batteries. The consultation closed on the 11 June, and a government response will be set out in due course.
