The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have jointly published a consultation on improving the Energy Efficiency of Socially Rented Homes in England.
This consultation seeks views on setting a minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES) for socially rented homes for the first time.
The Government is considering options to raise energy efficiency standards in the domestic social rented sector to make homes easier to heat, tackling fuel poverty and lowering carbon emissions.
This consultation closes at 11:45pm on 10 September 2025
