The Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery (LAD) scheme which supports energy efficiency and low carbon heat projects for low-income households is being delivered in three phases:

- Phase 1A; over £74million was allocated to 55 Local Authorities in October 2020 to be delivered by June 2021.

- Phase 1B:  around £126million has been allocated to 81 Local Authorities for delivery by September 2021.

- Phase 2: funding of £300m has been allocated to the five Local Energy Hubs, who will work with Local Authorities in their region to deliver projects by December 2021.

BEIS estimates the LAD Scheme will support on average 8,000 jobs per annum over the years 2020/21 and 2021/22.
