UK plans to require rental homes to meet higher energy efficiency standards by 2030, aiming to reduce fuel poverty.
The UK government plans to require landlords to improve the energy efficiency of rental homes to at least an EPC C rating by 2030, up from the current E rating. This could save renters £240 annually on energy bills and lift half a million households out of fuel poverty. Landlords can choose from options like insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps, with a £15,000 cap on costs, potentially lower to £10,000. The average cost to landlords is estimated at £6,100 to £6,800.
