First Registered: 12/01/2026 • Last updated on: 12/01/2026

The APPG unites Parliament, industry, and local leaders to accelerate the UK’s housing, energy, and retrofit goals connecting technology, data-led decision making, investment and policy to drive practical innovation, cut energy costs, support affordable homes, and strengthen regional economies.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
