ONE-THIRD OF UK FUNDING for insulation and heat pumps remains unspent

insulation and installing heat pumps has not yet been spent.

About £2.1bn remains unspent of the £6.6bn that was supposed to be used between 2020 and 2025 on making buildings more energy efficient and decarbonising heat. The funding is part of the £9.2bn that was promised for such spending in the Conservative general election manifesto of 2019. Insulating homes and switching from gas to heat pumps would save households money, and ease the cost of living crisis, but most people struggle to meet the upfront costs of such measures without government help.
