To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how community energy organisations will be included in supporting the Warm Homes Plan.
Martin McCluskey
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
Government has allocated up to £5 billion to the new Warm Homes Fund (WHF) to make investments in and loans to the home upgrade sector. We will launch a Call for Evidence early in 2026 to identify where in the market the WHF can deliver the greatest impact, which could include supporting local energy cooperatives or community-led home upgrade schemes.
As part of our proposed partnership approach with local government for the delivery of home upgrades, community energy groups and other local stakeholders will play an important role in area-based delivery.
Additionally, the new Warm Homes Agency, which will be operational from 2027, will play a pivotal role in supporting local partnerships.
