UK government pledges to upgrade all homes by 2050

The UK government has pledged to upgrade every home in the country to meet modern energy efficiency standards by 2050.

The plan was announced by housing secretary Michael Gove, who said that the initiative would help to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions.

It is estimated that around 19 million homes in the UK do not meet the required energy efficiency standards, leading to higher energy bills and increased carbon emissions. The government’s plan aims to address this issue and create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly housing stock.

The upgrade project will involve a combination of measures, including improved insulation, more efficient heating systems, and the use of renewable energy sources. The government plans to work with homeowners, landlords, and local authorities to implement these changes over the next three decades.
