Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the policy paper entitled Powering up Britain, published on 30 March 2023, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the provision of funding for energy efficiency measures installed in buildings.

Forty seven percent of homes in England now have reached the Government’s 2035 ambition of achieving EPC C levels, up from 14% in 2010. The Government is firmly committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The Government is investing £6.6 billion over this Parliament on clean heat and improving energy efficiency in buildings. A four-year, £4 billion extension of ECO with ECO4 has also been committed to accelerate efforts to improve homes to meet fuel poverty targets.
