Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what role Great British Energy will have in supporting communities that are off the gas grid in the transition to low-carbon energy.

GBE's purpose is to accelerate clean energy and by 2030 it will support over 1,000 local and community energy projects with up to £1 billion of funding, driven by the needs of local areas and communities.

Alongside the work of GBE, the Government’s £15 billion Warm Homes Plan is supporting individual households, including those off the gas grid, to transition to low-carbon energy.

The Government recently increased the grant level for heat pump installations through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to up £9,000 for homes heated by oil or LPG.

Low-income households can access fully funded measures through the Warm Homes: Local Grant and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund.
