Responding to the publication of the Government’s Warm Homes Plan, Energy UK’s CEO Dhara Vyas said:
“Supporting better access to clean heat systems, solar panels, batteries and insulation will help millions of households across the UK bring down their energy bills.
“£15 billion is a substantial commitment, and it’s great to see the plan has an offer for all households with substantial grants for clean heat solutions and affordable finance options for various low-carbon technologies, as well as fully funded measures for fuel poor and low-income homes.
“The Warm Homes Plan also provides certainty to investors and businesses in the energy market, and will drive growth, supporting the creation of thousands of good jobs across the country.
“To ensure the plan realises its full potential, it will be important to tackle the factors that currently make electricity artificially expensive. We look forward to working with the Government to deliver the plan and accelerate the adoption of low-carbon heating technologies, including bolstering investment in heat networks, which have a critical role to play in switching millions more properties to clean heat.”
