The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and Home Upgrade Grant are expected to result in improvements to more than 115,000 homes.
Local authorities, providers of social housing and charities have been awarded 拢630m from phase two of the latest stage of the Home Upgrade Grant; 拢778m will be provided through the latest wave of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund. An additional 拢1.1bn in match funding for social housing is being provided by local authorities, providers of social housing and charities to bring the total investment to 拢2.5bn.
The money will be used to fund energy-saving measures ranging from insulation to new windows.
On top of this, a further 拢409m has been granted through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to reduce the energy bills of public sector buildings such as schools and hospitals.
The funding will be rolled out from April 2023 to upgrade homes over the next two years.
According to the newly-formed Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the work could support 20,000 jobs in the construction and housing maintenance sectors.
Energy efficiency minister Lord Callanan said: 鈥淭he UK is truly a world-leader when it comes to reducing carbon emissions and the progress we鈥檝e made over the last decade has been remarkable. But we can鈥檛 rest on our laurels and must continue to drive forward progress, setting a standard for other countries to follow.
鈥淩eaching net zero means considerable action from the public sector as well as private sector. Through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme funding allocation announced today, we are empowering public bodies to save the taxpayer hundreds of millions while packing a punch on our ambitious and necessary climate goals.鈥�
Energy UK chief executive Emma Pinchbeck said: 鈥淚mproving the energy efficiency of Britain鈥檚 draughty homes and buildings is the best way to cut energy bills permanently, while also boosting the UK鈥檚 energy security and reducing carbon emissions.
鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcement will rightly prioritise those who need support the most like low- income households, social housing and public buildings. Industry will work with government to build on these vital schemes and to remove any barriers that prevent households and businesses from saving money on their bills by reducing heat loss and conserving energy.鈥�
