ADEPT highlights issues with the Home Upgrade Grant
The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2) is a government grant scheme that funds energy-saving upgrades for eligible residents with off-gas heating systems. The grant provides energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating via local authority funding, to qualifying households in England.
The ADEPT Energy and Clean Growth Working Group have been discussing some of the challenges which have led to HUG2 not successfully delivering in terms of homes helped relative to funds allocated. ADEPT collated the issues from across several local authorities and shared with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).
ADEPT remains passionate and committed to retrofitting homes and it is hoped that positive dialogue over future schemes can deliver better delivery and value for money.
