The Warm Homes Plan & Long Term Retrofit Delivery
The government’s £15 billion Warm Homes Plan marks a major step forward in the UK’s approach to domestic retrofit. Moving away from a cycle of fragmented, short-term funding programmes, the plan sets out a coordinated, long-term framework designed to drive meaningful improvements in energy efficiency at scale. Its ambition is clear: to tackle fuel poverty, reduce household energy bills and improve comfort for up to 5 million homes by 2030.
The Warm Homes Plan brings together support for low-income households and those most affected by fuel poverty across all housing tenures, reinforcing the principle that warm, healthy and energy-efficient homes should be a basic standard, not a luxury. As an experienced retrofit provider, LivGreen is well positioned to support the delivery of this ambition, helping local authorities, housing providers and homeowners translate policy into practical, high-quality retrofit solutions.
By providing clarity, scale and consistency, the Warm Homes Plan lays the foundations for a stronger retrofit sector, one that protects consumers, builds confidence and delivers real benefits for households and communities across the UK.

Retrofit as Essential National Infrastructure
The Warm Homes Plan consolidates previously announced funding alongside new commitments, signalling a decisive move to embed retrofit as a permanent pillar of the UK’s housing and energy policy. Rather than relying on a succession of time-limited schemes, the plan establishes a more durable framework that recognises retrofit as essential national infrastructure, required to deliver warmer homes, lower bills and long-term carbon reduction.
This forward-looking approach is critical for effective delivery. Long-term stability allows Housing Providers to plan strategically, invest in skills and workforce development, and build resilient supply chains. It also supports a move away from reactive delivery driven by funding deadlines, enabling a whole-house, outcomes-led approach that delivers lasting benefits.
For residents, a long-term retrofit framework offers greater clarity, confidence and protection. Clearer pathways to access support, consistent standards and a focus on quality help ensure improvements are not only delivered efficiently, but also improve comfort, health and affordability over the long term. Together, these elements create the foundations for a retrofit sector that can deliver at scale while putting residents and quality outcomes at its core.
By providing clarity, scale and consistency, the Warm Homes Plan lays the foundations for a stronger retrofit sector. With a strong and extensive proven record in delivering complex retrofit programmes across social housing, LivGreen is well positioned to play a key role in the next stage of the Warm Homes Plan.
