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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to introduce new energy performance standards; and when they expect them to be introduced.

In September 2020, the Government published an Energy Performance Certificate Action Plan detailing a series of commitments to maximise the effectiveness of Energy Performance Certificates. In November (2021), the Action Plan Progress Report was published detailing the significant progress made in delivering the commitments. The Department continues to work closely with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on progressing the outstanding actions in the Energy Performance Certificate Action Plan.
