The £15 billion Warm Homes Plan is the biggest public investment in home upgrades in British history, supporting millions of households with solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and heat networks.
A total of £4.4 billion of grant funding has been allocated to low-income households, delivered initially through the Warm Homes: Local Grant and the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund.
Our new Warm Homes Fund of up to £5 billion will make investments in and loans to the home upgrade sector and the expanded Boiler Upgrade Scheme, worth £2.7 billion, provides grants for heat pumps to all eligible households in England and Wales.
