Funding
£500 million has been committed to the Warm Homes: Local Grant across 3 years.
Further funding towards decarbonisation and to tackle fuel poverty will be considered as part of Phase 2 of the Spending Review.
Scheme overview
The Warm Homes: Local Grant will begin delivery in 2025 and will provide energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating via local authorities, to households that:
- are in England
- are low income
- have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) between D and G
- are privately owned (owner occupied or privately rented)
Once in delivery local authorities will be able to install energy performance measures and low carbon heating to eligible homes in their area. Measures could include:
- insulation
- solar panels
- an air source heat pump if suitable
Upgrades should be tailored to individual homes so that the most appropriate measures are installed. Occupants on a low income will not contribute to the cost of upgrades.
