Question
What assessment has the Minister made of the impact of the Warm Homes programme being delayed until the end of April 2024?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
This year, we are investing more than £30 million to reduce the number of low-income households living in cold, damp homes. The existing Nest programme will continue to provide essential support to eligible households this winter as we transition to the new scheme. This extension will ensure there is no gap in delivery.
We are also supporting local authorities to roll-out the Energy Company Obligation Flex and Great British Insulation Scheme Flex schemes across Wales, increasing the support to further households. Taken in combination, we are aiming to reach more people this winter than last.
