Question
When will the Welsh Government publish its route map for the decarbonisation of residential homes?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
Officials have drafted a routemap and action plan based on a range of evidence and advice, including that received from the Decarbonisation Implementation Group, and input received from partner organisations and interested parties in developing the Heat Strategy for Wales. Advice from the Climate Change Committee, published on 14 May, is currently being reviewed, prior to the document being finalised for my consideration. We aim to publish as soon as possible once these steps have concluded.
In the meantime, we are also focussed on delivering our existing initiatives and addressing the challenges identified in the Heat Strategy. Our actions are benefiting families across Wales with warmer, more affordable homes, as well as reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our housing stock.
