Information Request NPH00-1283/20
I am writing to respond to your request for information received on Wednesday 23rd September which has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI).
Your request has been given the unique Information Request No. NPH00-1283/20. Please quote this reference on all correspondence relating to this request.
You have requested the following information. Our response is shown in bold.
I am conducting a piece of research into the cost of decarbonisation for social landlords. Please can you answer the following questions with regards to your council housing stock:
- What is the current average SAP rating for your housing stock?
NPH can confirm that the average SAP rating (based on all the SAP’s we have recorded) is 72. This equates to Band C.
- What targets have you set out to achieve net zero carbon, or carbon reductions, within your housing stock? What dates have you set to achieve these targets?
In line with central government targets, NPH are set to achieve a net zero carbon housing stock by 2050.
- Have you developed a definition for what ‘net zero’ will look like in your housing stock? (i.e. X% reduction in carbon emissions, target for average SAP rating etc). Please can you provide details of this.
NPH can confirm a definition for ‘net zero’ has not yet been developed.
- How much do you expect it to cost to achieve your carbon reduction targets for your housing stock? Please provide this number as a total for all your stock and as an average price per unit.
The cost to achieve our carbon reduction targets is not yet known.
