First Home Upgrade Grants issued

BEIS has provided £67million in grants aimed at improving household insulation and cutting energy bills. Up to 4,300 low-income households in England will receive grants to pay for energy efficiency measures such as wall and roof insulation as well as new low-carbon heating systems, thermostats and room heating controls.
This is the first instalment from a total fund of £950 million that will be available over the next 3 years to help homes become more energy efficient and reduce household bills.
