To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what mechanism the Government intends to use to allocate funding under the Warm Homes Plan to local areas; and whether allocations will be made directly to Local Authorities.
Martin McCluskey
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Autumn 2024 Budget allocated £500 million to the Warm Homes Local Grant to be delivered from 2025-28 by eligible local authorities. The WH:LG used an expression of interest model to allocate funding, with all eligible local authorities in England who expressed an interest allocated funding - details of these allocations are available on gov.uk.
Local authorities within the West Midlands and Greater Manchester Combined Authorities received an allocation of this funding as part of the Warm Homes and Public Sector Decarbonisation Devolution Programme
£5 billion of the total £15 billion funding for the Warm Homes Plan is allocated to low-income households, initially delivered through the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF) and the WH:LG. From 2027/28 onwards we intend to integrate these into a single low-income capital scheme shifting towards area-based delivery. We will say more about the evolution of low-income schemes by Spring 2026.
