Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to increase the rate of retrofitting insulation in social housing in London.

The Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF, formally SHDF) provides grant funding for social housing landlords to improve the energy performance of their properties through the installation of energy efficiency measures and low carbon technologies. The WH:SH will upgrade a significant amount of the social housing stock currently below EPC C up to that standard. £1.29 billion has been allocated as part of the Autumn 2024 Budget for the WH:SHF Wave 3, to be delivered from 2025 until 2028 by eligible social housing landlords.

Additionally, the National Wealth Fund has worked with leading banks to make £1bn available to help housing associations provide warmer, more energy efficient homes to tenants across the country.
