Non-domestic Private Rented Sector minimum energy efficiency standards: future trajectory to 2030

We're seeking views on the proposed targets for the minimum energy efficiency standard for privately rented non-domestic buildings in 2030.

Detail

The government has committed to support businesses to reduce their energy use by at least 20% by 2030.

This consultation seeks views on how best to improve the energy performance of non-domestic private rented buildings through tighter minimum energy standards. Acting now to set a clear long-term trajectory to 2030 is designed to provide time and certainty to non-domestic landlords, businesses and the energy efficiency market in delivering the energy savings to support a zero-carbon future.

We have published a full Impact Assessment to support this consultation.
