Will UK landlords get the financial help they need to meet 2030 energy efficiency targets? The government is considering grants, interest-free loans, and tax incentives as the deadline approaches. The UK government is considering support and incentives for landlords to meet the 2030 Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), which require properties to have an EPC rating of C. Propertymark is calling for grants, interest-free loans, and tax incentives to help landlords comply. Ed Miliband, the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, confirmed discussions on financial aid but emphasized existing schemes like the Boiler Upgrade and Great British Insulation programs. Propertymark continues to push for tailored energy efficiency policies and clarity on exemptions for landlords. #sowenalettings #ukproperty #uklandlords #landlord #incometips #cornwall #cornwalllandlord #propertyincome #hmoproperty #buytolet #businessowners #wealth #wealthbuilding #financialfreedom #financialgrowth #cashflow #retireearly #addingvalue #successmindset #landlordmindset #income #propertymanagement #investing #freedom #news

On November 18th, the Ontario Energy Board published a Notice of proposed amendments to the Distribution System Code, which amendment are intended to facilitate the connection of housing developments in Ontario. The amendments will, for “qualifying housing developments”, increase the forecast period which electricity utilities apply in estimating revenues from a system expansion, which in turn will reduce the payments that developers have to contribute to offset the utilities potential losses. Specifically, going forward, the connection forecast horizon can be up to 15 years instead of 5 years, and the revenue forecast horizon will be 40 years instead of 25 years.
