With the UK government’s Warm Homes Plan published, this event brought together sector experts to unpack the key takeaways for industry and policy makers.

Following its delay in October, the publication marked a pivotal moment on the UK’s journey to clean heating, energy efficiency and tackling fuel poverty. This strategy outlined the roadmap for upgrading millions of cold, leaky homes - a key policy lever for reducing energy demand, cutting carbon emissions - and improving public health.

However, the effectiveness of any national strategy hinges on the detail, the funding, and the feasibility of its delivery.

An expert-led panel investigated: what is - and isn't - included in the new Warm Homes Plan; whether it can successfully achieve its aims for fuel poverty reduction and decarbonisation; and what the crucial implementation phase will look like on the ground.

This event was of interest to anyone working in housing, energy, local government - and climate policy.
