The Government is investing £6.6 billion over this parliament on decarbonising heat and energy efficiency measures.

An additional £6 billion of new Government funding was announced in the Autumn Statement available from 2025 to 2028. This provides long-term funding certainty, supporting the growth of supply chains, and ensuring we can scale up our delivery over time.

A zero-rate of VAT was introduced in 2022 for five years on energy efficiency measures, making it cheaper for people to invest in their properties and reduce their energy use.
