Did you Know? If you live in Italy and want to insulate walls and windows and install a heat pump and/or solar, the government will pay you 110% of the cost. Yes, you read that right.
All of it and then 10% on top, to be offset against your taxes over the next 5 years, up to a maximum of €100,000 per home.
It is an enormous offer that is being taken up by huge numbers, leading the government in Rome to claim that in the first eight months of 2021 they reduced emissions of CO2 from home heating by as much as they did in the last 20 years.
The cost in 2021? A cool €9bn.

Why so ambitious? They believe that it is the only way to convince people to get work done on their homes. Paying a proportion of the cost with a 'grant' just doesn’t work.
Most people either can’t afford to pay the rest, or simply have other more urgent priorities.

We await further information from @beisgovuk over how the 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028 target is going to be achieved; with the BUS no more than a stop gap through 2022-2024.
