The government has sets out its plans to clean up our energy system, support up to 220,000 British jobs and keep bills affordable as we transition to net zero by 2050.
The Energy White Paper sets out specific steps the government will take over the next decade to cut emissions from industry, transport, and buildings by 230 million metric tonnes.
Core parts of the Energy White Paper that are specific in part to 'housing' include:
Supporting the lowest paid with their bills through a £6.7 billion package of measures that could save families in old inefficient homes up to £400.
This includes extending the Warm Home Discount Scheme to 2026 to cover an extra three quarters of a million households and giving eligible households £150 off their electricity bills each winter.
