Rising heat pump demand could see the UK Government’s flagship Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) run out of vouchers as early as 2024 – months before it’s original end date in March 2025.
The UK Government has announced a new £5 million Heat Training Grant that is expected to support 10,000 trainees over the next two years to become “low carbon heating experts”.
An inquiry held by the Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee has concluded that the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is failing to deliver on its objectives, as the take-up of grants remains “disappointingly low.”
A new strategic partnership between Lloyds Banking Group, Octopus Energy and Halifax is aiming to introduce air-source heat pumps for Halifax customers and boost the rollout of zero-carbon heating.
