The 10-Year Council EPC League Table
Explore how your local authority's housing stock energy efficiency has improved over the last decade. This interactive table compares the percentage of domestic properties rated 'C' or above in 2015 versus 2025, revealing which councils are leading the charge towards net zero and which are falling behind.
Why this matters: With the UK government's ambitious targets to upgrade all homes to EPC Band C by 2030, local authorities play a crucial role in driving this transition. This data highlights the scale of the challenge remaining. A lower percentage of C-rated properties often correlates with higher rates of fuel poverty, increased carbon emissions, and a greater need for targeted retrofit funding and Private Rented Sector (PRS) enforcement.
Data Note: This table is based on Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) lodgements recorded by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). It includes all domestic properties (existing and new builds). Please note that EPCs are valid for 10 years, so this data represents a snapshot of properties that have been assessed, rather than a complete census of every single dwelling.
