UK offers grants to fund insulation for middle-income homes.
Government announces it will offer £1billion in grants to insulate homes across the country from 2023, which it claims could save eligible households £310 per year on their energy bills.
The Eco+ scheme will focus on offering low-cost insulation to homes which have poor energy efficiency ratings and are in lower council tax bands.

The UK Government will offers grants to fund insulation for middle-Income homes to lower-income households, those in social housing, on a low-income or who are classed as being fuel poor.
80% of the new Eco+ funding would be targeted at those who had not previously been eligible for Government support.
Households will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below to apply for this tranche of funding.
Households will also need to be in ‘lower’ council tax bands, although the Government has not specified which ones.
A fifth of the fund will also be targeted to those who are the most vulnerable, including those on means tested benefits or in fuel poverty.
