Private renters in York will pay £1.1 million more in energy bills this winter following Rishi Sunak’s scrapping of minimum energy efficiency standards for rental properties, new research shows.

York is among the 100 worst-hit areas of the country, according to analysis by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).

It shows that of the 12,699 privately rented homes in the York Central constituency, 6,946 have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or lower.  

Plans to ensure all new tenancies must meet EPC band C by 2025 were scrapped by Mr Sunak in September.
