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 help people who use oil to heat their homes to transition to low carbon heating systems.

Decarbonising off-grid properties, including households that rely on heating oil, is a priority for the Government. The Government is providing support through schemes such as the £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme and the £950 million Home Upgrade Grant.

Low carbon heating measures can be costly to install and unaffordable for many low-income families. The Home Upgrade Grant will support these families to transition to low carbon heating and prepare for a low carbon future.

The Government is also improving its consumer advice and guidance and mobilising the Green Finance Market.
