Introduction The government has published its Warm Homes Plan to upgrade up to 5 million homes by 2030. The Warm Homes: Local Grant ( WH:LG ) is part of this plan. It is a government-funded scheme delivered by Local Authorities that provides grants for energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating to low-income households living in the worst quality, privately owned homes in England to achieve energy bill savings and carbon savings. These upgrades are open to all fuel types, including on-gas-grid households (those heated by mains gas), and off-gas-grid households (those heated by electricity, oil, coal, or liquid petroleum gas). £15 billion has been committed to the Warm Homes Plan, with £4.4 billion committed to Low-income homes grants. Of this £0.5 billion has been allocated to the WH:LG to be delivered from April 2025 to March 2028. The expression of interest window for Local Authorities interested in participating in the scheme closed on 1 December 2024, and funding allocations were made to Local Authorities in early 2025. 74 projects involving 271 LAs (over 97% of eligible LAs in England) have been allocated funding. Further details on the WH:LG scheme can be found in the scheme’s guidance . What you need to know about these statistics The data contained in these statistics is based on returns submitted by 33 of the 74 participating Grant Recipients by mid-April 2026, reporting activity from the start of delivery in April 2025 to the end of March 2026. All figures in this publication are provisional and subject to revision. Previous schemes have seen significant upward revisions to early publications, and we expect to see the same for the WH:LG . We have identified issues with Grant Recipients under-reporting completed measures and are working to mitigate this. These figures are an accurate representation of reporting from the 33 Grant Recipients that provided lodgement data, but are likely to under-report actual activity. Key statistics Total Homes Upgraded This publication is based on returns submitted by mid-April 2026 covering reporting activity to the end of March 2026. To date, there have been around 2,050 measures across 1,090 households in the WH:LG . These figures are an accurate representation of GR reporting, but are likely to significantly undercount actual delivery. Figure 1: Cumulative number of homes upgraded in the WH:LG The data used in this chart can be found in Table 1 of the accompanying tables . Delivery by Measure Type Across the WH:LG , Solar PV was the most common type of measure, accounting for 39% of installations. Insulation measures accounted for around 24% of WH:LG measures, followed by Low Carbon Heat (19%) measures as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Type of measures installed in the WH:LG The data used in this chart can be found in Table 2 of the accompanying tables . Other Insulation includes Cavity Wall Insulation, Solid Wall Insulation and Flat Roof Insulation. Other LCH/Electricity Related measures include all other forms of insulation/low carbon heating/electricity related measures not listed. Delivery by Region The North West region has the most homes upgraded through WH:LG (28% of total WH:LG homes), with the South East (25%), East (14%), and West Midlands (11%), also containing a higher proportion of homes upgraded. Please note the regions have significantly different populations and participating grant recipients. Annex: Further information Next publication date The next publication date is Thursday 28 May 2026. Scheme information More information on the WH:LG scheme can be found on the scheme’s guidance . Accompanying tables Tables showing number of measures installed and households upgraded under the WH:LG are available online. The tables also contain information on methodology and data quality.

For more information on the scheme, please see the: | | Warm Homes: Local Grant webpage (opens in a new window) | | Commentary on the latest statistics is available in the companion Summary of the WH:LG statistics. | | Warm Homes: Local Grant Background | | The Government has published its Warm Homes Plan to upgrade up to 5 million homes by 2030. The Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG) is part of this plan. It is a government-funded scheme delivered by Local Authorities that provides grants for energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating to low-income households living in the worst quality, privately owned homes in England to achieve energy bill savings and carbon savings. These upgrades are open to all fuel types, including on gas households (those heated by mains gas), and off gas households (those heated by electricity, oil, coal, or liquid petroleum gas). | | £15n has been committed to the Warm Homes Plan, with £4.4bn committed to Low-income homes grants. Of this £0.5bn was allocated to the WH:LG to be delivered from April 2025 to March 2028. The expression of interest window for Local Authorities interested in participating in the scheme closed on 1 December 2024, and funding allocations were made to Local Authorities in early 2025. 74 projects involving 271 LAs (over 97% of eligible LAs in England) have been allocated funding. The delivery window opened in April 2025. | | Further details on the WH:LG scheme can be found in the scheme’s guidance. | | Method Notes | | The Department receives reports from each Grant Recipient (GR) on a monthly basis, representing activity in the previous calendar month (i.e. January reports summarise activity in December) - though further data lags can be present due to delayed information flows during delivery (within consortia members, with contractors etc). These reports include information on: homes treated, measures installed and estimated costs. All figures in this publication are provisional and subject to revision as data lags and quality issues are addressed and as the scheme progresses. Previous schemes have seen significant revisions to early publications: these figures are an accurate representation of reporting from Grant Recipients, but may underreport actual activity. For more information, see the Department’s statistical revisions policy. | | Under the WH:LG scheme, GRs identify households that meet the eligibility criteria for the scheme - these are targeted as those most at risk of fuel poverty or in the least energy efficient housing. Households are contacted to discuss the potential for work or households submit an application. For each eligible household, several measures could be suitable or required at a property. | | The GR conducts a series of checks to ensure each household, property and selected measure are eligible for WH:LG funding. The GR also records who installed each energy efficiency measure, and the associated costs. | | The raw data are ingested into the Department's systems and subject to a series of quality checks and cleaning, before they are used for analysis. The scheme data are linked with other data sources to enable more detailed analysis. For example, the postcode is used to link to the Office of National Statistics National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL), to assign each address to an English region. The geographic region codes are in 9-character format, operative from 1 February 2011. The property address is also linked to the Ordnance Survey Address Base to retrieve Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs), so that unique households can be identified. | | Data Completeness | | There are 74 Warm Homes: Local Grant projects, representing 271 LAs (detailed in the WH-LG GR List tab). The analysis in this release is based on lodgement data submitted by 33 of these projects. | | Revision Policy | | As with any data collection with a short time lag between data receipt and published release, there may be some data quality issues to resolve. Therefore data in these headline releases should be treated as provisional and subject to revision. We will highlight any signifcant revisions with notes and provide explanations. | | © Crown copyright 2026.
