Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many homes have been upgraded to an Energy Performance Certificate level C through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, as of 24 November 2022.

This parliament, the Government has committed to investing £6.6bn in energy efficiency, with the Autumn Statement announcing an additional £6bn from 2025-2028.

SHDF Wave 1 awarded around £179m of grant funding, delivering from 2022 into 2023. Delivery is ongoing with data on the number of homes upgraded to EPC C expected to be published once post-delivery retrofit surveys are completed. The SHDF Wave 2.1 competition, which closed on 18th November 2022, will allocate up to £800m of grant funding, with successful projects likely to be notified in March 2023.
