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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their proposed Boiler Upgrade System will be fully implemented by 1 April; what discussions they have had with the industry regarding the implementation of that scheme; and when they will publish full details on how the scheme will be implemented.

Earlier this month, we announced the launch dates for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The scheme will open for installer account creation on 11 April, and voucher applications will open 23 May. All systems commissioned from 1 April will be entitled to support under the scheme. These dates were communicated directly to industry.

The Government has had, and continues to have, significant engagement with industry including manufacturers, installers, trade associations and industry standards bodies. Ofgem consulted at the end of last year to seek industry views on their administration of the scheme.
