Following the scrapping of the Green Homes Grant last month, David Pinder, chair of the Green Construction Board, has indicated that a replacement could come this autumn.
Speaking at Building magazine’s Net Zero Live, David Pinder said business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng had indicated that a replacement could be revealed later in 2021.
Although nothing is guaranteed, Housing Today reported that Pinder said, “the secretary of state certainly indicated that he expected the Green Homes Grant or an equivalent would come forward in the next comprehensive spending review.
“We hope that it is longer term commitment and the most important thing is that it is properly funded.”
The Green Homes Grant was launched to kickstart a green recovery in September 2020 and was hoped to create thousands of jobs.
