UK Delays Low-Carbon Housing Rules to 2028

The UK government has pushed back its "future homes standard," meaning new homes won't be required to include heat pumps and solar panels until March 2028, leaving buyers locked into gas heating for years longer than planned. Separately, the government rebuffed calls from the energy industry body Offshore Energies UK to expand North Sea oil and gas production.
