A £15 Billion Commitment to Warmer, Fairer Homes
The £15 billion Warm Homes Plan represents a major long-term public investment to upgrade homes, cut energy bills and improve living conditions across the country. Around £5 billion of this funding is earmarked for fully funded upgrades for low-income households, including a substantial focus on social housing, where homes are more likely to be inefficient and residents more vulnerable to high energy costs.
This commitment is intended to support large-scale improvements such as insulation and clean heating, delivering lower bills, warmer homes and better health outcomes, while accelerating progress in parts of the housing stock where the social and economic benefits are greatest.
