Applications for Wave 1 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund are now closed.

See details of the successful bids.

Registered providers of social housing (including private and local authority providers) can apply to Wave 1 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) to support the installation of energy performance measures in social homes in England. Up to £160 million is available.

The SHDF will upgrade a significant amount of social housing stock to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C. Wave 1 projects will follow a worst first, fabric first, lowest regrets approach to improving the energy performance of social housing by 31 January 2023.

The fund will help:

• deliver warm, energy-efficient homes
• reduce carbon emissions
• tackle fuel poverty
• support green jobs
• develop the retrofit sector
• improve the comfort, health and well-being of social housing tenants

The fund follows on from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Demonstrator, where over 2,300 homes were improved to EPC Band C and at least 1,300 local jobs were supported.

The SHDF supports the Prime Minister’s 10 point plan for a green industrial revolution and makes further progress towards delivering the government’s commitment to invest in the energy performance of homes.
