The Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) has welcomed the Government’s Warm Homes Plan.

The plan confirms £15bn of public investment in home retrofit, including £5bn for fully funded upgrades for low-income households, alongside continued support for heat pumps, insulation, consumer finance and regulation.

Ben Brittain, Director of Public Affairs at ACE, said: “This is a serious plan that finally recognises the scale of the challenge. With £15bn for retrofit, a clear pathway to a single low-income scheme and a million households lifted out of fuel poverty by 2030, this shows real intent. This isn’t about warm words, it’s about delivery.

“By backing British manufacturing, skills and supply chains, this plan cuts bills while driving jobs and growth. It gives industry the confidence to invest and scale at pace and our members will match this pace in delivery.”
