Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of reducing funding for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme on the target to deliver over 450,000 heat pump installations per year by 2030.

Decarbonising the way we heat our buildings is a key pillar of the Government’s Warm Homes Plan. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is critical component of that Plan and has a budget of £400 million for this year (2026/27).

The Government does not comment on speculation ahead of fiscal events. Future Warm Homes Plan funding, including the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, is subject to decisions at future Budgets and Spending Reviews. The Chancellor will set out further details on spending later this month.
