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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much and what proportion of the funding allocated to the Local Authority Delivery element of the Green Homes Grant scheme has been paid to contractors for completed work.

The Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery scheme will deliver energy efficiency upgrades to low-income households via Local Authorities, using existing, or newly procured services from certified installers. All procurement or contracts to supply services under the GHG LAD scheme will be carried out at Local Authority level.

The full £500m has now been granted to Local Authorities in Phase 1 and Local Energy Hubs for Phase 2 and delivery has begun. We will be receiving further information on overall spend as the scheme progresses, however at this time the specific breakdown of payment to contractors is not available.
