UK households to get R420 billion for solar panels and green tech
Teaser / Tailpiece story
The UK government says it will spend R420 billion over five years to help households cut energy bills with solar panels, heat pumps, and batteries. Officials say the plan aims to triple the number of homes with solar and lift one million people out of fuel poverty.
Grants and low-interest loans will support homeowners and social housing, while new rules from 2030 will require rental properties to meet minimum energy efficiency standards. The government says the scheme will create jobs, reduce reliance on imported gas, and encourage investment in clean energy.
Where technology is installed, the government says families are already seeing lower bills.
