To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what financial assistance his Department is providing to households who are unable to have a heat pump or heat battery, to ensure a fair transition to low carbon heating.
The Department recently consulted on the role of alternative clean heating solutions for properties that may not be suitable for heat pumps or cannot connect to heat networks. Through this consultation, we sought evidence on the costs and barriers to uptake of alternative low‑carbon technologies. We are now considering responses and will publish our response in due course. For Scotland, this responsibility lies with the Scottish Government.
