Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that home energy efficiency targets are delivered in both the (1) private, and (2) social, rented sectors.

The Government is investing £6.6 billion over this Parliament on clean heat and improving energy efficiency in buildings, reducing our reliance on fossil fuel heating. In addition, £6 billion of new Government funding will be made available from 2025 to 2028.

On March 22^nd, The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 2.1 awarded £778 million of funding to support the installation of energy performance measures in social homes in England below EPC C, improving them up to that standard.

Up to £630 million of grant funding will be awarded to local authorities for Phase 2 of the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG 2) to be delivered from April 2023 to March 2025. HUG 2 provides energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating measures to low-income households living in the worst performing, off gas grid homes in England.
