Heating: Rural Areas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps she is taking to reduce the long-term heating costs of rural homes.
- Answer
-
The Department allocated £500 million funding to support the energy efficiency upgrades of low-income households across England under the Local Authority Delivery Scheme. This funding was focused on the worst EPC rated homes, including those off the gas grid in Phases 1 and 2.
The Homes Upgrade Grant (HUG) ringfenced 60% of funding allocated for rural housing. Eligible households must be on low income and live in an off-gas grid home with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of band D, E, F or G.
