Ofgem has permission to allocate Boiler Upgrade Scheme vouchers up to a total of £520 million in the current financial year. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero published the notice on 5th November 2026.
Current position
The approval applies to England and Wales. It authorises voucher allocations, rather than reporting money already paid or installations completed.
Why this matters
The decision supports continuity for households and installers planning low-carbon heating work. The allocation total should not be presented as an additional £520 million grant award.
Next steps
Applicants should check current scheme eligibility and installer requirements before committing to work. The notice does not announce a new application deadline or confirm individual awards.
