The MCS Foundation has welcomed the announcement in today’s Spending Review that the Government has committed to fully funding the Warm Homes Plan in line with Labour’s 2024 Manifesto Commitment. The Warm Homes Plan, further details of which will be revealed later this year, will help people find ways to save money on energy bills and deliver warmer, cleaner to heat homes through initiatives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

Garry Felgate, Chief Executive of The MCS Foundation, said: “It is fantastic to see the Government demonstrate its commitment to the decarbonisation of homes through a fully funded Warm Homes Plan.

“Decarbonising homes can deliver warmer homes, lower bills, and tackle the climate crisis. Following last week’s news that all new homes in England will come with renewables as standard, this is an important next step in providing certainty for industry and consumers, which will aid the rollout of low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps.

“We look forward to seeing further details of The Warm Homes Plan in due course.”
