Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department has set an annual target for the proportion of low-income homes meeting energy performance certificate band C in each year between 2022-23 and 2034-35.

In England, the Government’s target is to ‘ensure that as many fuel poor households as is reasonably practicable achieve a minimum energy efficiency rating of a Band C by 2030’. The Government has an interim milestone for as many fuel poor homes as is reasonably practicable to reach Band D by 2025.

The Government set an ambition for all homes to reach EPC band C by 2035 where practical, cost-effective and affordable, in line with the Government's Net Zero target.
