Do you want to add anything, Sam?

Whereas the Balanced Pathway is 450,000 plus.

It is 450,000, including new homes.

Yes, that is what I was saying.

The heat batteries.

Okay. Those other forms that are coming up are not covered by the Warm Homes Plan. They are just coming up spontaneously by people who can afford to pay for them.

I want to talk about heat pump targets, because the Warm Homes Plan has a target of 450,000 heat pumps to be installed annually by 2030, including new-builds. The Seventh Carbon Budget Balanced Pathway envisaged 450,000 plus an estimated 200 new-build homes. The first question is: do you think the revised target of 450

Finally, what additional measures are required to reach low-income owner-occupiers currently lacking viable upgrade routes? Earlier today, I was in an MP meeting about heating oil costs and LPG. There will be more households that, at least temporarily, will go into fuel poverty. What can the Government do about that?

Dion, did you want to add anything to that?

11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

What do you think we should do about that?

We are thinking domestic consumers on this.

11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

On the issue of the enforcement of landlord standards, what do the Government need to do to make sure that that is going to be consistent and effective?

28
11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

What policies would accelerate cost reductions and reduce reliance on the volatile electricity price ratio?

11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

Yes.

Brenda?

We have talked about alternatives like heat batteries. Louise, you mentioned that in dense city-centre locations heat networks would potentially be a good use, yet we are still not really seeing any action on that. Is that something you feel should be approached through the plan, or will it have to be dealt with separa

11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

Are you concerned at the moment that they do not have the expertise to support?

11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

We have heard that the plan offers less money for lifting households out of fuel poverty. Peter, you mentioned the particular issue of low-income and owner-occupied households. Can I start by asking each of you to briefly say whether you think the merged warm homes local grant and warm homes social housing fund schemes

62
11 Mar 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 753)

Okay. If there is this projected shortfall of installations, how can we address that? I will start with Louise because it sounds like that might be through alternative means.

10 Mar 2026Topical Questions

Heat batteries are the only clean heat technology certified by the microgeneration certification scheme that is excluded from VAT relief under the energy-saving materials framework. This penalises smaller homes and lower-income households that cannot accommodate a heat pump. Will the Chancellor commit to removing that
