Energy Company Obligation and Warm Homes Plan
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero regarding transitional funding proposals to support workforce continuity between ECO and the Warm Homes Plan.
- Answer
-
We recognise closing ECO presents immediate challenges for the supply chain. In the Warm Homes Plan, we committed to supporting the workforce to access opportunities through £15 billion of funding and through regulations in the rented sector and for future homes, benefitting millions of households.
The government has established the Warm Homes Plan Workforce Taskforce with trade unions and industry to facilitate transition to clean energy sectors. The Taskforce will consider how to build workforce resilience to meet evolving demand, including assessing the knock-on effects of ECO4 closure. I also chaired a task and finish group which discussed how to unblock barriers to SMEs and local supply chains accessing additional work under the Warm Homes Plan.
