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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to encourage households to reduce their domestic energy consumption.

The Government is investing over £6.6 billion this parliament to improve energy efficiency and decarbonise heating.

Through the Government’s ‘Help to Heat’ capital schemes, domestic consumers could potentially save between £300 and £700 per annum, based on the current price cap.

In the summer the Government launched a GOV.UK digital service (‘Find ways to save energy in your home’) providing impartial, tailored advice to homeowners on ways to improve the energy performance of their homes. This will be supported in the coming months by the launch of telephone advice and specific local area advice for energy consumers.
