The UK government has announced bold new measures to improve energy efficiency in private rental properties, helping households cut down on energy bills and stay warm throughout the year. As part of the Plan for Change, these initiatives could lift up to half a million households out of fuel poverty by 2030, making homes warmer and more affordable for tenants.
At Stellar Energy, we specialize in providing and installing ECO4 grant-funded energy efficiency solutions, ensuring landlords and tenants alike can take full advantage of these new regulations. Here’s what you need to know and how we can help.

What’s Changing?
By 2030, all private rental properties in England and Wales will be required to meet a minimum Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C—an upgrade from the current requirement of EPC E. This will mean landlords must invest in energy efficiency improvements such as:
– Loft insulation
– Cavity wall insulation
– Double glazing
– Smart meters
– Renewable energy options like solar panels

For tenants, this means lower energy costs—potentially saving an average of £240 per year on bills. For landlords, it means ensuring their properties meet the new legal standards while benefiting from financial incentives available under schemes like the ECO4 grant.

Government Support for Landlords
To help landlords comply with these new requirements, the government is offering financial support, including:
– ECO4 Grants – Covering insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable energy installations.
– Boiler Upgrade Scheme – Helping with the cost of replacing inefficient heating systems.
– Warm Homes: Local Grant – Launching this year to assist further with energy-saving installations.
A maximum spending cap of £15,000 per property has been set for landlords, with exemptions available based on affordability. If your property falls below an EPC C rating, now is the perfect time to act and take advantage of these schemes.
