The UK Government has launched a new scheme worth one billion pounds to help more than 300,000 families heat their home for less. The Great British Insulation Scheme aims to help low income households save hundreds of pounds each year on their fuel bills through new energy efficiency upgrades.
The 300,000 set to benefit come on top of the 2.4 million homes that have so far benefited from new energy efficiency measures under existing support schemes, as part of the UK Government’s ongoing efforts to protect the most vulnerable across the country. Customers using the online tools will then be referred to either their energy supplier, for support from the ECO programme and Great British Insulation Scheme, or their local council for the Home Upgrade Grant, to take the next step in making their home more energy efficient.
The scheme will help build on the UK Government’s progress in improving energy efficiency in the country’s homes - in 2010, just 14 per cent of homes had an EPC rating of C or above, compared to 47 per cent in 2022.
