Answer

The Affordable Warmth Scheme has business case approval until March 2024.

The energy efficiency measures offered through the Affordable Warmth Scheme are based on the regulations contained within Statutory Rule No 195 ‘The Domestic Energy Efficiency Grants Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009’. Details of Statutory Rule No 195 can be viewed at -https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr/2009/195/introduction/made

The Principal regulations were reviewed in 2014 and again in 2016 and amendments to Regulation 4 ‘purposes for which grant may be approve’ were made.

These amendments can be viewed at: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr/2014/52/regulation/4/made
