At the Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced £6bn of additional funding for energy efficiency, covering the financial years 2025/26 to 2027/28.

This provides funding certainty to the sector ahead of the next Spending Review.

Almost £3bn is already allocated for Financial Years 2023/24 and 2024/25 on energy efficiency, the majority of which will go to Local Authorities. In addition to this, the government is expanding the Energy Company Obligation by £1 billion over the next three years, from April 2023.
