I propose to take Questions Nos. 130 to 133, inclusive, and 156 to 166, inclusive, together.

The National Retrofit Plan sets out the Government's approach to achieving the Climate Action Plan targets of upgrading the equivalent of 500,000 homes to a Building Energy Rating (BER) of B2/cost optimal level and installing 400,000 heat pumps to replace older, less efficient heating systems by 2030.

To promote and incentivise the achievement of these targets, last year, the Government launched a package of significantly enhanced supports to make it easier and more affordable for homeowners to undertake home energy upgrades.

Following the introduction of the new measures, 27,200 home energy upgrades were supported in 2022, which represents a 79% increase year-on year. Figures to end of March 2023 show 9,946 home energy upgrades have been delivered so far this year. A further breakdown of the home energy upgrades by Scheme shows:

• 4,438 homes were delivered across the Warmer Homes and Warmth and Wellbeing schemes in 2022 which represents an increase of 85% year-on-year. Figures to the end of March 2023 show 946 home energy upgrades completed under the Warmer Homes Scheme.
• 8,481 homes were upgraded to a post works BER or B2 or better in 2022, representing a 95% increase year-on-year. Figures to the end of March 2023, show 3,304 homes have been upgraded to a post works BER of B2 or better.
• 643 home energy upgrades were completed under the National Home Energy Upgrade Scheme in 2022. Figures to the end of March 2023 show 255 home energy upgrades completed.
• 11,806 home energy upgrades were completed under the Better Energy Homes scheme in 2022, representing a 54% increase year-on-year. Figures to the end of March 2023 show 4,730 home energy upgrades completed.
• 10,017 home energy upgrades were completed under the Solar PV scheme in 2022, representing a 145% increase year-on-year. Figures to the end of March 2023 show 3,985 home energy upgrades completed.
• 295 home energy upgrades were completed under the Community Energy Grants Scheme in 2022. Figures to the end of March 2023 show 30 home energy upgrades completed.
