According to the article, ministers have presented the measure as part of Britain’s response to the Iran war energy shock and the wider economic fallout from oil supply disruption. Under the Future Homes Standard, new-build regulations from 2028 are to require on-site renewable electricity generation, with the government expecting most of it to come from solar power. The rules also include heat pumps and heat networks, while plug-in solar panels, including balcony units for homeowners, are to become available in shops over the coming months.
