Heating: Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what portion of the £15 billion Warm Homes Plan will be ringfenced for the installation costs of alternative heating systems in off-gas grid properties.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
The Warm Homes Plan sets out in detail how the government's £15 billion investment into home upgrades will be allocated to individual schemes. While there is no specifically ring-fenced funding for off-gas grid homes, the package will support these homes to decarbonise in a variety of ways.
Additionally, the government has published a consultation on alternative heating solutions which explores the role these technologies could play in ensuring that every household has a suitable low-carbon option. The consultation closed on 10 February, and we will issue the Government response in due course.
