Heating: Social Rented Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support the large scale retrofitting of heating systems in social housing.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
We have committed £13.2bn in the Warm Homes Plan up to 2030, in line with our Manifesto commitment. This will support investment in low carbon heating, solar, batteries and insulation to up to 5 million homes across England.
Within Wave 3 of the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, which launched earlier this year, in addition to targeted off-grid, low-carbon heating grant funding there is a new optional low-carbon heating funding incentive for homes on the gas grid.
Up to 10% of on-grid homes in an application can access a £20,000 grant per home to install low-carbon heating measures.
