Warm Homes Plan

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to increase the jobs and skills needed in the construction and retrofit sectors to meet the delivery targets in the Warm Homes Plan.

Answer

The Warm Homes Plan will support up to 180,000 additional jobs in energy efficiency and clean heating by 2030. It includes our £8 million Warm Homes Skills Programme and a £7 million Heat Training Grant already helping people gain requisite skills and qualifications.

The Plan also highlights DESNZ’s wider work to support growth, including co-chairing the Warm Homes Plan Workforce Taskforce to facilitate the transition, creation and growth of a diverse, skilled and resilient workforce for existing workers and new entrants, and working with other government departments and the industry-led Construction Skills Mission Board to accelerate workforce growth in construction.
