Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps she is taking to increase energy efficiency in the context of the decision to disband the energy efficiency taskforce.

The Government is allocating around £20 billion over this Parliament and next to improve the energy efficiency and low carbon heating of homes and businesses, reducing our reliance on fossil fuel heating and reducing household energy bills.

The Government has recently announced further details regarding the £6 billion extension that will be allocated from 2025-2028. This will support an extra 500,000 homes, prioritising those who need it most.

The Government also launched the new Welcome Home to Energy Efficiency public campaign, targeting the able-to-pay market with trusted information on the most cost-effective energy efficiency measures.
