Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans his Department has to work with Mayoral Combined Authorities on household insulation and retro-fitting schemes

The Government works with Combined Authorities as part of the Sustainable Warmth competition. Up to £1.5 billion will be available to local authorities, including Combined Authorities, through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and Home Upgrade Grant schemes, which will be delivered from April 2023 to March 2025. The schemes provide grants for energy efficiency measures and low carbon heating to low-income households, living in the worst performing, private and social homes in England with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of band C-G. Successful local authorities will be announced before April 2023.
