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

To ask His Majesty's Government what is their policy on (1) identifying, and (2) retrofitting, the most energy inefficient homes with insulation and other energy saving adaptions.

The Heat and Buildings strategy, published in 2021, confirmed the need to upgrade the worst performing homes first. The Government is providing £3.2 billion in targeted support for social housing residents, low income and fuel poor household through the Local Authority Delivery scheme, the Home Upgrade Grant, and the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund. The Energy Company Obligation has been extended from 2022 to 2026, boosting its value from £640 million to £1 billion a year

The Government has also launched a digitally led service ‘find energy improvements suitable for your home’ on GOV.UK to provide impartial and tailored advice helping people make their homes greener and cheaper to run.
