Energy efficiency package

As well as helping households pay their bills with a year’s extension to the energy price guarantee, the government wants to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and industry by 15% by 2030. To help meet this target, the Autumn Statement included a £6.6 billion package of support to encourage improvements in home energy efficiency such as insulation and upgraded boilers. While we don’t know to what extent, we can expect this scheme to have some impact. I would urge those interested and eligible to take advantage of what support will become available. Energy efficiency will increasingly be on buyers’ agendas.
