<p>Under the £2 billion Green Homes Grant funding announced by my Rt. Hon. Friend
Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer on 8th July to save households money, cut carbon and
create green jobs, £500 million has been earmarked for Local Authority delivery in
England to improve the energy efficiency of low-income households.</p><p> </p><p>The
first phase of this funding, launched on 4th August, will see up to £200 million available
to Local Authorities directly through a bidding process. The remaining £300 million
will be allocated to the five regional Local Energy Hubs later this year to procure
services that support upgrading eligible homes.</p><p> </p><p>This funding represents
a significant and accelerated down payment on decarbonising buildings to help stimulate
the economic recovery and create green jobs.</p>
