Of all the stupid, hare-brained, and idiotic things to do, Labour may be planning to restrict access to the #BoilerUpgradeScheme.😡
The UK is still facing an energy crisis, and climate change is still happening.
Lower-middle-class and educated households are those most likely to want to switch to #HeatPumps, but they often don’t have £10k in the bank to afford to do it. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/nov/13/hundreds-of-thousands-to-lose-heat-pump-subsidies-in-reevess-budget-plan
May be behind a Paywall.

The #BoilerUpgradeScheme (England and Wales) that is in place to help households with the system transition costs of moving to an Air to Water #HeatPump (from gas or oil) has not used anywhere near its budget this year, and funds remaining this financial year are to be clawed back from U.K. Treasury!!!
Absolutely bonkers.

The energy minister has admitted that underspends on the £150 million budget this year for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) will be lost and cannot be carried over. The latest figures from Ofgem show the total value of BUS vouchers issued by the end of January was just under £50 million - with only two months remaining for the first phase of the initiative.
