Partnering to deliver the Warm Homes Plan


The UK has the least insulated and energy efficient homes in Western Europe, causing fuel poverty and high energy bills for families. Our energy inefficient homes also hamper net zero ambitions, with 20% of the UK’s carbon emissions coming from housing. 


The National Warm Homes Council (NWHC) is a new group of UK SMEs who share the Government’s goal to slash fuel poverty and improve energy efficiency in British homes. 


Our members – for example LoftZone and its innovative product of loft insulation protection – are already helping families access affordable measures to help save hundreds of pounds. The UK has a burgeoning insulation and energy efficiency industry and the NWHC represents the SME part of that. We can play a key role in the development of the Warm Homes Plan and look forward to working with the Government to effectively deliver it.

Retrofitting homes with energy efficiency measures can benefit almost all households, across every constituency. To supercharge the delivery of the Warm Homes Plan (WHP), the government should consider: 

1. Make the WHP a political priority, to slash fuel poverty for the long-term. 

2. Invest in the UK’s home energy efficiency supply chain. 

3. Partner with the SME community to develop and deliver the WHP. 

What is the government’s Warm Homes Plan? 


In their 2024 General Election Manifesto, the Labour Party committed to investing an extra £6.6 billion over the next parliament to improve energy efficiency, upgrade five million homes and cut bills for families.  


The Warm Homes Plan anticipates offering grants and low interest loans to support investment in energy efficiency and will include partnerships with local and devolved governments to roll out the plan. 


The Government is expected to design and implement their Warm Homes Plan in the near future, and the National Warm Homes Council stands ready to provide support and expertise.
