Boost for energy specialists and tradespeople with Green Homes Grant scheme

Tradespeople and energy specialists across the country will benefit from new grants being offered to homeowners to make properties more energy efficient.

From today (Friday 28 August), homeowners and landlords can access further information on the government’s new Green Homes Grant scheme.

The initiative is part of a wider government plan to “build back greener”, with more than 600,000 new energy efficient homes and over 100,000 skilled jobs supported.

Business and Energy Secretary, Alok Sharma, commented: “Green Homes Grants are a key part of our plans to build back greener, helping make 600,000 homes more energy efficient with government vouchers, while supporting 100,000 skilled jobs and supporting our transition to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“From today people will have the chance to see how this scheme could help save money on their energy bills and connect to trusted local tradespeople across the country, so they are ready for the scheme’s launch in September.”
