Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to assist homeowners in retrofitting their homes to become more energy efficient.

As the first step towards the Warm Homes Plan, the Government has committed an initial £3.4 billion over the next 3 years towards heat decarbonisation and household energy efficiency, with £1bn of this allocated to next year. Additional funding will be considered in Phase 2 of the Spending Review, as the Warm Homes Plan is further developed.

In addition to the £3.4 billion of direct capital spend, the Government is ensuring continued further investment of up to £1.4bn through the supplier obligation schemes in 2025/26: the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) and Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) which we are now reforming to improve delivery and ensure consumers save more on their energy bills.
