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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans his Department has to review the scope of the Green Homes Grant in response to low take-up rates to date.

The Green Homes Grant scheme is an energy efficiency retrofit scheme, focussing on insulation and low carbon heating. The scope of technologies currently included reflects our assessment of the best balance between economic stimulus and maximising value for householders and taxpayers.

Outside of the voucher scheme the Local Authority Delivery (LAD) element is in place to raise the energy efficiency of low income and low EPC rated homes in order to lift households out of fuel poverty whilst delivering progress towards our commitment to net zero by 2050.

We are listening to feedback on the scheme and are keeping the scope of eligible technologies under review.
