“The Warm Homes plan provides an opportunity to create a lasting legacy of sustainable, energy-efficient homes that transforms communities across the UK. Our approach will be, as it has always been, to be hands-on, focusing on community engagement, and working closely with local authorities to deliver meaningful change”
– Michael Madigan, Managing Director of Next Energy
With £13.2 billion in funding announced by the new Labour Government, the Warm Homes Plan represents a historic opportunity to tackle fuel poverty and upgrade the UK’s housing stock. Michael Madigan, Managing Director of Next Energy, shares his perspective on what this means for local communities — and why Next Energy is ready to deliver lasting impact.
The Labour Government’s recent announcement confirming £13.2 billion in funding for the Warm Homes Plan represents far more than just another policy update. It marks a transformational moment for energy efficiency, community resilience, and sustainability across the UK.
For Next Energy, which has long championed the need to address fuel poverty and improve energy efficiency across the UK, this funding provides the long-term investment we have consistently advocated for. It means we can accelerate our efforts to upgrade homes, support local economies, and improve the lives of local communities.
Next Energy has been delivering large-scale energy efficiency and sustainable living projects in partnership with local authorities across England. Our partnerships with major public sector organisations, including Liverpool Combined Authority, the West Midlands Combined Authority and Greater Manchester Combined Authority, are already showing the positive results that can be achieved when government support and local expertise come together. These partnerships highlight the real difference that focused investment and cooperation can make for communities.
Our strong partnerships across the UK, together with the scale and support of being part of the FTSE100-listed DCC PLC network position us at the forefront of delivering real change through the Warm Homes Plan. This gives us the capacity and resilience to deliver ambitious, large-scale retrofit projects, while also allowing us to remain flexible and responsive to the needs of local communities.
The Warm Homes plan provides an opportunity to create a lasting legacy of sustainable, energy-efficient homes that transforms communities across the UK. Our approach will be, as it has always been, to be hands-on, focusing on community engagement, and working closely with local authorities to deliver meaningful change.
