Warm Homes Plan
What It Is, How It Works & What It Means for Solar
The Government’s Warm Homes Plan has been announced as a long-term strategy to improve energy efficiency, reduce household energy bills, and accelerate the transition to cleaner, more affordable home energy across the UK.
While full delivery details are still being confirmed, the Warm Homes Plan is expected to play a major role in supporting measures such as solar PV, battery storage, and wider home energy upgrades — particularly through a combination of public funding, low-interest finance, and fully funded solutions for eligible households.
At Novus Energy, we’re closely monitoring developments and working proactively to understand how this scheme will operate in practice.
What is the Warm Homes Plan?
The Warm Homes Plan is a Government initiative aimed at making homes warmer, cheaper to run, and more energy efficient. It builds on existing energy efficiency and decarbonisation goals by focusing on long-term improvements rather than short-term fixes.
The plan is expected to:
- Improve household energy efficiency
- Reduce reliance on fossil fuels
- Lower energy bills over the long term
- Support the rollout of renewable technologies such as solar PV and battery storage
Although specific eligibility criteria and funding routes are still being finalised, early indications suggest a strong focus on affordability, accessibility, and reducing upfront costs for homeowners.
What’s confirmed so far, and what isn’t
At this stage, the Warm Homes Plan has been announced at a policy level, with further operational detail expected over the coming months.
As clarity emerges, we’ll update this page with clear, practical guidance.
What we know so far:
The plan will support long-term home energy improvements.
Solar PV and energy storage are expected to form part of the wider solution.
Funding is likely to include a mix of grants, low- or no-interest loans, and fully funded measures for low-income households.
What’s still to be confirmed:
Exact eligibility requirements.
How funding will be accessed.
Whether applications will be council-led, installer-led, or centrally administered.
What this could mean for solar and battery storage
From our experience delivering over a thousand solar PV and battery storage installations across the UK, we’ve seen first-hand the impact that generating and storing your own energy can have on household energy bills.
The Warm Homes Plan has the potential to:
- Reduce upfront costs for solar installations
- Make battery storage more accessible
- Support homeowners who previously couldn’t afford renewable upgrades
The Warm Homes Plan has the potential to:
