House of Lords Committee inquiry into the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

Today the Environment and Climate Change Committee has issued a letter to Lord Callanan following a recent inquiry into the performance of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. It concludes that the BUS is seriously failing and that there is a need for a review of the scheme. It calls for Government to roll over the remainder of year one funding into the second year, promote the scheme further, and help build the installer base. These are important actions Government should take to help households switch to low-carbon heating systems and meet its own 2028 target of 600,000 installations per year.
