Warm Homes Plan: comment

"This plan should enable many more people able to live in ‘net zero’ homes with solar panels, insulation, batteries and heat pumps lowering bills and cutting households vulnerability to the kind of volatile gas prices that have left many homes struggling with the cost of living. At this tense time globally, it’s also an investment in the UK’s energy security with every heat pump we install reducing our reliance on gas, which will increasingly come from abroad as North Sea output continues years of decline. 

"Some decisions have been a long time coming, such as minimum standards for private renters and the introduction of the Future Homes Standard for new builds. That timelines are being pushed back is likely to be frustrating for those who are still colder and poorer in shoddy rental homes, but the public overwhelmingly back better standards for new builds so should be encouraged to see new requirements on the house builders at long last."
