<p>The Government has a target of improving the energy efficiency of 1 million homes
by March 2015 and as of June we have improved over 750,000 homes through the Energy
Company Obligation (ECO), Green Deal and other home energy efficiency incentives.
We are also consulting on regulations to require more minimum energy performance standards
in the private rented sector.</p><p>In addition, we have laid draft Regulations to
create a new fuel poverty target that seeks to ensure that as many fuel poor homes
as is reasonably practicable achieve a minimum energy efficiency standard of Band
C by 2030. We are also proposing that interim milestones of as many fuel poor homes
as is reasonably practicable reach Band E by 2020 and Band D by 2025 be laid out in
the forthcoming Fuel Poverty Strategy.</p>
