Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many exemptions have been registered under the minimum energy efficiency standards regulations; and how many officials are responsible for assessing and approving these exemptions.

As of the end of January 2026, there were a total of 22,774 exemptions registered on the service, of which 10,519 were still active. Local authorities are the enforcement authority for the regulations, the Department has no role in assessing exemptions.
