Inside the new breed of 'zero bills' homes where you pay nothing for your energy
The £14.7 billion Warm Homes plan aims to upgrade 5 million UK homes, potentially lifting 1 million families out of fuel poverty by 2030, ministers say.
- On Wednesday the UK government published the long-awaited Warm Homes plan to upgrade homes across Britain with insulation, solar panels, batteries and heat pumps as a single strategy to make homes cheaper, better and warmer.
- Approximately 85% of homes rely on gas for heating and more than half is imported, leaving 2.7m households in fuel poverty, while housing and buildings are the UK's second-biggest polluting sector.
- The strategy packages funding and standards, including fully funded installations for low-income homes, cheap loans for regular households, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and aims to upgrade five million homes and lift up to one million families by 2030.
- Ministers say the plan could cut bills by hundreds of pounds, Energy UK's Dhara Vyas urged tackling high electricity costs, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called it a key cost-of-living response.
- The plan is pitched as enhancing energy security by reducing gas imports, but reliance on Chinese components and unclear landlord enforcement pose delivery risks and potential higher costs for gas users.
