UKGBC campaigns to secure Warm Homes Plan funding

Together with other NGOs, the UKGBC called on the Labour government to commit to their £13.2bn investment into the Warm Homes Plan.

UKGBC wrote a joint letter to Rt Hon Darren Jones MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, calling on Labour to honour its manifesto pledge to increase funding for home energy efficiency to £13.2 billion this Parliament.

The Warm Homes Plan could help save nearly 3 million households £220 on average off their energy bills. If funding is maintained at the trajectory set out in the 2024 Autumn Budget, then 1.5 million households would lose out on this saving. Many of those affected are likely to be vulnerable, as featured in The Guardian.

We also coordinated a letter from businesses working on home upgrades to ensure the full £13.2bn is delivered. This was signed by many of our retrofit members who will work as government partner to deliver upgrades across the country, as featured in the Financial Times.

 

 

Update: We are pleased that in the Comprehensive Spending Review on Wednesday 11th July the Government confirmed the full £13.2n would be invested into the Warm Homes Plan. Read our full response here.
