The expression of interest (EOI) window is expected to open in October 2024. You can start preparing now and submit an expression of interest when the window opens.
This page will be updated once further information is available.
Overview
The Warm Homes: Local Grant will begin delivery in 2025 and will provide energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating via local authorities, to households that:
- are in England
- are low income
- have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) between D and G
- are privately owned (owner occupied or privately rented)
Once in delivery local authorities will be able to install energy performance measures and low carbon heating to eligible homes in their area. Measures could include:
- insulation
- solar panels
- an air source heat pump if suitable
Upgrades should be tailored to individual homes so that the most appropriate measures are installed. Occupants on a low income will not contribute to the cost of upgrades.
The total amount of funding available for local authorities to deliver the scheme is subject to the spending review and will be confirmed in due course.
How to participate
Local authorities should refer to the guidance document which includes information on the design, delivery model and eligible measures to help them prepare for the expression of interest window, which is expected to open in October 2024.
Once the expression of interest window opens, all eligible local authorities who complete an EOI form will be allocated funding to participate in the scheme.
Help and support
Support is available at no cost to all local authorities interested in participating in the Warm Homes: Local Grant from the Retrofit Information Support and Expertise (RISE) service.
