Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF)

EWI is one of the most thermally effective methods to improve the building fabric and has been highly adopted in all waves of SHDF funding.

What is the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund?

Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) is a UK government fund, pledged to upgrade a significant proportion of social housing stock which have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) performance below a rating of Band C. The aim of the fund is to support social housing residents out of fuel poverty and deliver progress towards the UK’s commitment to Net Zero by 2050. The fund is open to Local Authorities, Combined Authorities, registered providers of social housing and charities providing social housing, with a 2019 Conservative Manifesto commitment of £3.8bn over a 10-year period. This commitment of funds is being issued through a number of different bidding waves, with wave 2.1 currently underway with an allocation of £0.8bn through to 2025.
