Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help increase household energy efficiency through (a) insulation and (b) boiler upgrades.

The Government is investing £6.6 billion over this Parliament on clean heat and improving energy efficiency in buildings, including through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, Home Upgrade Grant, and Boiler Upgrade Scheme. In addition, £6 billion of new Government funding will be made available from 2025 to 2028.

The £1 billion ECO+ scheme will be launched from Spring 2023 targeting a broader pool of households in the least efficient homes in lower council tax bands as well as the most vulnerable.

A digital advice service ‘find energy improvements suitable for your home’ on GOV.UK launched in July 2022 to provide improved information to help households identify suitable energy saving measures.
