Revealed: government announces council winners of £430m warm housing competition
A total of 57 local authority projects have been allocated a share of £430m as the government announced the winners of its Sustainable Warmth Competition.
The competition, which ran from June to August this year, brings together two existing fuel poverty schemes that are intended to provide funding for local authorities to carry out energy-efficiency upgrades within the homes of low-income households.
This includes Local Authority Delivery Phase Three (LAD3), which is an extension of the Green Homes Grant announced by the government in July last year. LAD3 is worth over £280m and has a refined scope to support households heated by mains gas.

It also includes phase one of the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG), which is worth £152m for low-income households with homes that are off the gas grid.
The full list of allocations (see below) included £29m for Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and £40m for the Greater London Authority.
The focus of the Sustainable Warmth Competition is on upgrading the worst insulated owner-occupier and private rented homes with energy-efficiency installations and low-carbon heating.
Homes with an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of E, F or G will be prioritised, while upgrades to homes rated EPC D will be allowed but be limited.
The allocations come shortly after the government made a raft of funding announcements to fund the decarbonisation of housing of all tenures over the next three years, totalling £3.9bn.
This included an additional £800m for the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and an extra £950m for the HUG scheme.
