Answer
The Government is investing £6.6 billion over this parliament on decarbonising heat and energy efficiency. In addition, the Energy Company Obligation Scheme is in its fourth iteration which will run until 2026 with a value of £4 billion. ECO + has also been announced, worth £1 billion and will run from Spring 2023.
The Autumn Statement set out a new ambition to reduce final energy consumption from buildings and industry by 15% by 2030. To support this, a new Energy Efficiency Taskforce will be established. £6 billion of additional funding will also be made available from 2025 to 2028.
