What Is the UK’s £15 Billion Warm Homes Plan?
Announced in January 2026, the government’s Warm Homes Plan aims to improve over five million homes across the UK. It supports households in switching from fossil fuel-based heating to low-carbon alternatives. Much of this is designed to reduce the cost of living by cutting average home energy bills and making green technology more accessible as part of the strategy to reach net sero by 2050.
