Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the value for money of existing tax-payer funded energy efficiency schemes.

The government regularly assesses the value for money of its energy efficiency schemes through published impact assessments.

For example, the government has published an Impact Assessment (which is attached) for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) from 2022/23 to 2024/25 which projected a net present social value of £310m demonstrating strong economic and social benefits. Similar assessments are undertaken for other schemes, to ensure effective use of public funds.

These evaluations consider costs, benefits, and delivery performance to maximise outcomes for households and taxpayers.
