Sample Control 2140:
Review of the Warm Homes Plan

The organisation has reviewed the Warm Homes Plan, published by the government on 20th January 2026, ensuring that all relevant strategies are aligned with it.  This could include:

  • Preparing to make bids for further waves of the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, or the Optimised Retrofit Programme for associations in Wales, to fund energy efficiency improvements, including passive cooling measures— this could include submitting joint bids with other associations in the same region through the net zero hub
  • Applying to low-cost financing schemes, including those benefitting from guarantees from the National Wealth Fund, to help meet the rest of the costs
  • Working with other social landlords to set up area-based retrofit schemes to make the process as efficient as possible
  • Ensuring that the costs of complying with the Future Homes Standard are incorporated into financial plans and development appraisals, while setting up processes to provide assurance on compliance with its requirements
  • Undertaking further installations of PV panels, while taking advantage of initiatives in the Plan to fund these programmes and reduce their costs, and considering setting up ‘zero bills’ tariff arrangements with suppliers 
  • Ensuring that asset management strategies are fully funded to enable all homes to meet minimum energy efficiency standards, including any market rent portfolios.
