The first vouchers have been redeemed, and more vouchers are being redeemed every day. BEIS will continue to monitor application data as the scheme progresses.
Homeowners and landlords submit grant applications for energy efficiency and clean heat measures they want to install in their properties, under the scheme. Once approved, vouchers are issued for each measure that has been applied for.
1 This value has been derived by taking the sum of the cost of all works applied for within the scheme, for all applications to date.
2 The total grant applications by region is 60,477. This differs from the headline total of 60,759 due to a slightly different reporting period.
3 The values provided for this figure describes the regional breakdown of grant applications that have been issued vouchers. This is different to the regional breakdown of vouchers, in that more one application may generate more than one voucher.
