Will the Minister outline the progress made on developing a replacement for the Nest scheme?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 11/05/2023

We are working on the detailed design of the new Warm Homes programme and will publish a suite of documents, including a tender specification for the procurement of a new, demand-led scheme shortly.

We will transition to the new scheme smoothly, ensuring continuity of support for fuel poor households. I have extended the current Nest contract to ensure there will be no gap in provision between the new and existing programmes.
