How do government energy grants benefit the public?
Government energy grants were launched with two key goals. Firstly, to financially assist households, especially those facing energy poverty, ensuring everyone could afford basic energy needs and a comfortable home. Secondly, they aimed to promote efficiency of the energy and sustainability. Amidst concerns about climate change, these grants facilitated carbon reduction and a greener UK by subsidising energy-efficient home improvements, thus fostering widespread change towards a sustainable future.
