Details

The Green Homes Grant Local Authority Delivery scheme was launched in August 2020. This £500 million scheme funds energy efficiency and low carbon heating projects for low income households across England. It supports delivery of the target to reduce fuel poverty in England, the UK’s pathway to net zero by 2050, as well as stimulating the economic recovery following COVID-19, supporting and creating green jobs. The Local Authority Delivery scheme aims to upgrade up to 50,000 homes, saving consumers money on their energy bills, while making it easier to keep their homes warm.

The Local Authority Delivery Scheme is being delivered in Phases:

  • Phase 1A: grants of around £74 million were allocated to 55 projects which aimed to upgrade the energy efficiency of low-income households in over 100 local authorities across all areas of England by the end of August 2021

This included consortium bids submitted by a lead local authority that cover energy efficiency upgrades across multiple geographically related local authorities
  • Phase 1 overall aims to upgrade to up to 20,000 homes
