From gov.uk
The government will provide a voucher worth up to £5,000 or £10,000 to help cover the cost of making energy efficient improvements to your home. Improvements could include insulating your home to reduce your energy use or installing low-carbon heating to lower the amount of carbon dioxide your home produces...
The government will provide a voucher that covers two-thirds of the cost of qualifying energy efficiency or low carbon heating improvements to your home. The maximum value of the voucher is £5,000. If you are on a low income and receive certain benefits, you can receive a voucher covering all of the cost of the improvements. The maximum value of the voucher is £10,000. A full list of qualifying benefits are available on the Simple Energy Advice website.

if Greta followers insist that it is that bad to have energy inefficient house, that mere higher energy bills are not enough to punish the owner, how about adding extra tax as a penalty that is charged until the house is made compliant? there is a precedent, if I had a clunker, they would charge me extra to drive in London rather than give me money to get my clunker upgraded: "Most vehicles, including cars and vans, need to meet the ULEZ emissions standards or their drivers must pay a daily charge to drive within the zone: " - https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone
PW, yes, the stick seems to work better than the carrot, and it's a revenue raiser not expenditure.
MW - and a clunker is not becoming an asset out of the blue.
...with a value of an expected subsidy included in the selling price I mean.
A CO2 tax is and always was a no-brainer. Politicians say the public has no brains. So no go.
It's not that the public has no brains. It's that they selected a 'King' to do their dirty work. See 1 Samuel 8. Cause and effect has been well understood for millennia.
This is a decent policy. Not a good use of resources to waste energy, regardless of your feelings on climate science. It will create economic activity, and the production of energy has 100% consensus on pollutants like nitrous oxide, mercury, particulates, etc. Also the more money that can be kept out of theocrats' and petrodictators' hands the better
