The Retrofit Reckoning: Britain's Home Decarbonisation Mission Has Run Out of Road.
The money is committed. The legislation is passed. The targets are set. And the homes are still cold, the bills are still unaffordable, and the delivery is still broken.
HLUK2026 is where Britain stops announcing the mission — and starts answering for it.
Housing is now a front-line issue in Britain's energy security crisis. Every home still burning gas is a home exposed to the next fossil fuel price shock. Every home still leaking heat through uninsulated walls is a home paying hundreds of pounds more than it should. Every new build constructed without solar and clean heating is a liability the next owner will spend decades correcting. The Warm Homes Plan, the Future Homes Standard, and the drive to break the gas-electricity price link have created the strongest policy platform for housing decarbonisation in British history.
Now comes the hard part.
