What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ministers are planning to reduce the funding available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) in England and Wales. This reduction is intended to help the government find over £2 billion in savings to support higher defence spending. The BUS, which provides grants of up to £9,000 for households switching to cleaner heating, will see hundreds of millions of pounds cut from its £2.7 billion budget.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The scheme has helped tens of thousands of households install electric heat pumps. Critics argue that cutting this funding will damage the nascent British heat pump industry and undermine the government’s commitment to tackling the climate crisis.

Tougher regulations are currently being applied to both England and Wales, involving industry leaders and political figures.
