Energy Poverty: Discussion

If we upgrade more social homes but ultimately they have a lower carbon impact as it is, we get a lower benefit. I do not know if the analysis has been done. The target of 500,000 houses is set because we need to decarbonise our housing sector rapidly. It would be interesting to see it. Maybe the optimal figure from a decarbonisation point of view is more social homes or maybe it is fewer, which is not something we would like to hear. Is Ms O'Connor aware of any analysis showing what that is?
