Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing post 2020 (EESSH2) review: interim guidance for social landlords

Key Points

1. The 2025 and 2032 EESSH Milestones are temporarily put on hold.

2. Whilst the review is underway social landlords should continue to invest in energy efficiency measures to help reduce running costs, and in zero direct emissions heating systems where appropriate. This will prevent lock-in of poor performance and reduce the risk of additional issues arising in future.

3. Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and local authorities should continue to draw on support available for example through the Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund which will provide £200 million of grant support over the length of this Parliament.
