New Home Gas Boiler Ban Imminent: Angela Rayner and Ed Miliband to Present Strict Net Zero Regulations for Housebuilders from the Following Year
Get ready, folks! It seems that gas boilers in new homes will soon be a thing of the past. The Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, and Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, are reportedly moving forward with stringent Net Zero regulations for housebuilders. Known as the 'Future Homes Standard', these changes have been in the works for a while, but it appears they'll be fast-tracked.
Initially proposed by the previous government, the Future Homes Standard aims to boost the energy efficiency of new homes, with the ultimate goal of eliminating gas boilers as swiftly as possible. This radical move will increase the energy efficiency requirements for developers, effectively banning gas boilers in new homes as soon as the new year.
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that solar panels would become mandatory for almost all new homes as part of the Future Homes Standard. Now, it seems the package of carbon-reducing measures includes much more. Expect these new rules to be announced by Angela Rayner this summer.
The push for these strict Net Zero regulations is significant, despite a recent Labour debate over cutting carbon emissions. Former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair argued that any strategy limiting fossil fuels in the short term is doomed to fail. He argued that the current approach 'isn't working' and criticized the irrational nature of the debate.
Despite these criticisms, it looks like the Labour party will proceed with their plans to drive forward a more sustainable future. Let's see how this plays out in the coming months, shall we?
