Geothermal Power: Warm Homes Plan

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what role deep geothermal heat will play in delivering the Warm Homes Plan.

Answer

In homes and buildings, a heat network is required to make use of deep geothermal heat. The Warm Homes Plan set out our support for low-carbon heat networks, including Heat Network Zoning and £1bn in investment over the course of this Parliament. It is for heat network developers to select the best heat sources for their network, and this may include deep geothermal where it can provide affordable low-carbon heat for consumers.
