Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 24 November 2022 to Question 92184, whether he has plans to improve the rate of the number of registered installers eligible to participate in government energy efficiency measure installation schemes.
In September this year, BEIS launched a £9.2 million Home Decarbonisation Skills Training Competition. This has awarded funding to organisations to deliver 9,000 training courses across England to the building retrofit, energy efficiency and heat pump sectors. It will fund training to upskill those already working in these sectors, as well as bringing new installers into the industry. This will help to develop skills within the supply chain to deliver improvements to buildings through government-funded energy efficiency schemes.
