Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has set a target by which all low-income homes will meet energy performance certificate band C.

In England, the Government has set a fuel poverty target to ensure that as many fuel poor homes as is reasonably practicable achieve a minimum fuel poverty energy efficiency rating of Band C by 2030.

The fuel poverty energy efficiency rating contains an uplift to the energy performance certificate rating where qualifying households’ costs are reduced through the Warm Home Discount rebate.
