Answer
The Government has committed to “support low-cost measures on energy efficiency, with the goal of insulating a million more homes over the next five years, supporting our commitment to tackle fuel poverty.” Since the start of May 2015 to end October 2016 around 312,000 homes have had at least one insulation measure installed, predominantly under the Energy Company Obligation.
Progress against the target remains on course to be achieved by the end of April 2020.
