More detail on the £2bn Green Home Grants scheme has been
published, confirming that social landlords are eligible to bid for funding.
The scheme provides funding to support home energy efficiency improvements. As
a minimum, improvements must include measures that improve insulation and/or
deliver low carbon heating, such as the installation of heat pumps or solar
thermal. Homeowners, including private and social landlords, can apply for two
thirds of the cost of improvements with grants capped at £5,000. Low income
households qualify for grants worth up to £10,000 to support energy efficiency
upgrades. Some funding has been set aside for local authorities. Read more on
the NHF website.
