Ministers are weighing cuts of up to £9,000 per home as industry groups warn the move could slow 2,500 monthly installations.

  • On Friday, ministers were reportedly weighing cuts to grants of up to $11,853 for household installations, potentially redirecting those funds toward the Defence Investment Plan.
  • Boris Johnson announced the sustainable-heating initiative five years ago to provide heat pump grants, which Sir Keir Starmer later extended through 2030 with significant budget backing.
  • Installations linked to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme rose 56% in 2024 and increased another 7%, according to The Morning Star, with the sector accounting for around 2,500 installations monthly.

  • Greenpeace head of climate Mel Evans argued that cutting support risks making Britain dependent on volatile global gas markets, thereby "undermining our national security.
