Warm Homes Plan: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the suspension of funding for the Warm Homes Plan on households that had been (a) approved and (b) offered support but were unable to receive the planned works; and whether he plans to (i) reinstate funding for the scheme and (ii) provide alternative funding arrangements to ensure that those households can access energy efficiency and home improvement measures.

Answer

Funding for the Warm Homes Plan has not been suspended. The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) has been extended to 31 December 2026 to allow energy suppliers additional time to complete remediation and their existing obligations.

Support for eligible households will continue through the Warm Homes Plan, including £1.5 billion additional grant funding for energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating, delivered through the Warm Homes: Local Grant and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund schemes. The government has no plans to reinstate ECO4 and is instead delivering a long-term successor offer through the Warm Homes Plan.
