Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent steps his Department has taken to help ensure that people can access support through the Warm Homes Plan in Gloucester.

Asked by:
Alex McIntyre (Labour)

Answer

As the first step towards the Warm Homes Plan, the Government has committed an initial £3.4 billion over the next three years towards heat decarbonisation and household energy efficiency, with £1 billion of this allocated to 2025/2026.

This includes support for the most vulnerable, including those in Gloucester, to help slash fuel poverty. To fund energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating for social housing residents, lower income households, and renters, £1.29 billion has been committed to the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and £500m for the Warm Homes: Local Grant respectively. Delivery is expected to start this year.

Further details on the Warm Homes Plan will be set out in due course.
