Recommendation
Delivering net zero by 2050 will require a ban on the installation of fossil fuel heating systems by the mid-2030s at the latest. We note that the Government signalling, instead of setting, an end-date for the phase out of gas boilers fails to give industry and consumers a clear date to work towards in decarbonising home heating. We urge the sector to come forward with more ambitious plans for pricing and innovation to encourage a robust regulatory framework.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government discusses the Green Home Finance Innovation Fund, the Green Home Finance Accelerator Programme (doubling funding to £20 million), and consultation on incentivizing mortgage lenders, but doesn't directly commit to a ban on fossil fuel heating systems or more ambitious plans for pricing and innovation, as the recommendation urged.
