Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has disbanded a taskforce to speed up home insulation and boiler upgrades.
Energy efficiency minister Lord Callanan told the group its work would be"streamlined" into ongoing government activity.
According to the BBC 12 million UK homes were rated D or below on their Energy Performance Certificates, which means they do not meet long-term energy efficiency targets. He adds that the work to date had not been"wasted" and that"draft recommendations will be instrumental in driving forward this important agenda."
"We have invested £6.6bn in energy efficiency upgrades this Parliament and will continue to support families in making their homes more efficient, helping them to cut bills while also achieving net zero in a pragmatic, proportionate and realistic way."
