(asked on 8th June 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the value of stand-alone batteries in the Warm Homes: Local Grant scheme for homes where solar PV is not present and may not be suitable.
Answered by
Martin McCluskey
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Domestic batteries are an eligible measure under the Warm Homes: Local Grant. Batteries can only be installed where they complement existing or new solar PV. This is to ensure that households realise the full benefits of installing a battery.
Measure eligibility policy for the Grant is kept under review.
All measures installed under Government schemes must adhere to the latest PAS 2035:2023 guidance and installers must be Trustmark registered and PAS 2030:2023 certified for energy performance measures and MCS certified for low carbon heating measures such as batteries.
