Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect that all homes in the United Kingdom will reach energy efficiency level Band C.

The Government believes that improving residential energy efficiency is an important part of its efforts to reduce UK greenhouse gas emissions, combat fuel poverty and enhance the country’s energy security, as well as helping all consumers save money on their energy bills and enjoy warmer, more comfortable homes.

We continue to see progress in the deployment of energy efficiency measures towards our goal of 1 million homes helped by March 2015. We have not set any particular target regarding all homes reaching EPC Band C and do not hold any detailed projections as to when this might be achieved.
