Introduction: The Golden Era of Residential Energy
The UK government recently unveiled its ambitious Warm Homes Plan (WHP), a cornerstone policy led by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). With a massive £15 billion investment earmarked through 2030, the plan aims to transform the energy efficiency of British housing at an unprecedented scale.
This is more than just a social policy to combat fuel poverty; it is a clear market signal that the UK’s residential energy sector is shifting from “standalone hardware sales” to a “holistic system integration” era. At Injet New Energy, we are closely monitoring these regulatory tailwinds, positioning our smart charging solutions to be the heartbeat of this new green home ecosystem.
Strategic Breakdown: Where Will the £15 Billion Go?
The Warm Homes Plan utilizes a “Triple-Track” approach—combining direct subsidies, financial leverage, and mandatory building standards—to achieve its 2030 targets. The funding is strategically allocated across three key pillars:
1）£5 Billion for Low-Income Retrofits: Targeted at the most energy-inefficient homes, this funding provides free upgrades. A typical “Solar + Battery” system (averaging £9,000–£12,000) will be fully covered by the government for eligible households.
2）£3.8 Billion for Heat Transformation: Expanding the Boiler Upgrade Scheme with grants of up to £7,500 per household to accelerate the transition from gas boilers to electric heat pumps.
3）£4.7 Billion in Financial Leverage: By providing government-backed low-interest or zero-interest loans, the plan lowers the capital expenditure (CAPEX) barrier for middle-income families, de-risking the investment in renewable tech.
Crucially, the Future Homes and Buildings Standard (FHS) will mandate that starting from 2026, all new-build homes in England must be “zero-carbon ready,” typically requiring rooftop PV as a default configuration.
From Hardware to Ecosystem: The Logic of System Integration
In the new UK market landscape, the competition is no longer about who sells the cheapest solar panel or battery. It is about who owns the control logic of the home energy loop.
A modern British home energy ecosystem is built on “Four Pillars”: Generation (Solar PV), Storage (BESS), Heating (Heat Pumps), and Consumption (EV Charging). The true value lies in the synergy between these components.
Injet New Energy has anticipated this paradigm shift. Our products are designed not merely as “plugs,” but as intelligent nodes within the Home Energy Management System (HEMS).
Empowering the Green Loop with Smart Connectivity
To meet the specific demands of the UK market, Injet New Energy offers a suite of high-performance solutions:
1）Home charging solution: Engineered specifically for the residential sector, the Swift Smart combines British aesthetic sensibilities with robust functionality. It integrates seamlessly into domestic parking spaces, creating a secure, intelligent, and user-friendly charging experience.
2）Solar Surplus Charging: Our Injet Swift Smart and Injet Eco AC chargers feature advanced integration capabilities. By communicating with the home’s energy management platform, they prioritize “Solar Lead” charging—utilizing 100% green surplus electricity from the roof to power EVs, drastically reducing energy bills and carbon footprints.
“In the UK, an EV charger is no longer just a physical socket; it is a critical asset for load balancing, solar self-consumption, and future Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation.”
Global Vision, Local Expertise: Injet’s Commitment to the UK
Since our inception in 2016 as a subsidiary of Injet Electric, we have been driven by a single vision: to become a world-class provider of integrated renewable energy solutions.
As the Warm Homes Plan unfolds, Injet New Energy is doubling down on its Localization Strategy for the UK:
1）Pre-emptive Compliance: Our chargers are already certified under major international standards and are fully compliant with UK grid regulations and safety protocols.
2）Lifecycle Management: We are building a robust sales and service network across the UK to provide end-to-end support—from installation training to remote diagnostics—offsetting the high local cost of technical labor.
3）Future-Proofing: Recognizing the “Solar + Storage” trend, Injet is continuously innovating. We will plan to offer integrated “Solar-Storage-Charging” solutions that fit perfectly into the 2026 Future Homes framework.
Conclusion: Building a “Warm Home” Together
The Warm Homes Plan is a blueprint for a net-zero future. From mandatory solar on new builds to the massive electrification of heat, every step creates a bridge between advanced global supply chains and local energy goals.
At Injet New Energy, we are proud to provide the “smart heart” of this transformation. Join us as we power the next generation of sustainable British homes.
