On 19 May 2023, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero announced that £4.1 million will be shared between 26 green finance projects to help homeowners make their homes more energy efficient.
RIBA President Simon Allford said:
“Green finance products are a vital piece of the puzzle for making England’s homes more energy efficient, so we welcome this funding for trials to ramp up the green finance market.
With millions of homes leaking energy, money, and in dire need of retrofitting, it’s vital that green finance options encourage homeowners to undertake the work needed.
A well-funded National Retrofit Strategy must use every tool available - time is against us.”
