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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many private rented homes have been upgraded through (a) the Energy Company Obligation, (b) the Home Upgrade Grant, (c) the Green Homes Grant and (d) Local Authority Delivery Schemes since 2015.

The Energy Company Obligation has been in place since 2013. To date it has installed energy efficiency and heating measures in almost 321,000 private rented homes (around 14% of homes upgraded under ECO).

Initial funding for the Home Upgrade Grant was allocated in December 2021 as part of the Sustainable Warmth competition. Delivery will commence from early 2022 until March 2023.

For the Green Homes Grant Voucher scheme, as of 7th January 2022, 49,389 measures were installed in 43,166 households. The next statistical release will be published on 24 February 2022.

The first two phases of funding for the Local Authority Delivery scheme, which has allocated £500 million in grants to Local Authorities, is expected to deliver energy efficiency upgrades to up to 50,000 eligible homes across England.
