Gregory Campbell – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gregory Campbell on 2016-01-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what plans she has for long-term sustainable household energy efficiency measures in the period after 2017.

Andrea Leadsom

We are providing support for households to improve their energy efficiency through a reformed domestic supplier obligation (ECO) from April 2017.

This will upgrade the energy efficiency of over 200,000 homes per year to 2022, help to tackle the root cause of fuel poverty and continue to deliver on our commitment to insulate 1 million more homes this Parliament.

We are also looking at a range of policy levers for driving take up of low carbon heat and energy efficiency in non-fuel poor households.
