The UK government has announced a £40.6 million package aimed at lowering heating costs for thousands of households by upgrading older heat networks and investing in new low-carbon energy systems across England and Wales.
The funding, announced on 20 May as part of the government's 'Warm Homes Plan', is intended to improve inefficient communal heating systems serving homes, hospitals, charities and public buildings. Ministers said the investment would help reduce energy bills, tackle fuel poverty and lessen reliance on volatile international gas markets.
