How could Wales heat and build homes and workplaces by 2035?

  • Prioritise the installation of heat pumps in private homes, upgrading building fabric where necessary to avoid increased bills.
  • Fund insulation for fuel poor homes, installing heat pumps wherever possible.
  • Launch a low interest green loan for homeowners, which crowds in private finance, develops supply chains and creates new jobs.
  • Design local delivery partnerships for heat switching, to help people choose the best low carbon heat option for their home, street, or neighbourhood.
  • Support existing tradespeople to join the heat and retrofit workforce in the short term, and work with colleges to develop training for young people.
