Energy Performance Certificates: Private Rented Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when his Department plans to publish the finalised Home Energy Model band boundaries that will define compliance with the new EPC C standard for private rented properties ahead of the 1 October 2030 deadline.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
The government's Home Energy Model: Energy Performance Certificate consultation closed in March. The consultation included questions on the proposed C rating requirements across the Fabric Performance, Heating System and Smart Readiness metrics, which will underpin minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector from 2030.
We are currently reviewing consultation responses and will publish the Government Response later this year.
