Royal Energy Efficiency: A Symbolic Blind Spot in Britain's Climate Efforts The UK government's plan to raise energy efficiency standards for rental properties by 2030 has brought an unwelcome spotlight on the private estates of King Charles and Prince William.
The proposed regulations will require landlords to ensure their properties have EPC ratings of C or higher, a move aimed at lifting up to half a million households out of fuel poverty.
The scale of potential upgrades required for the royal estates is staggering: estimated at £10m. This figure highlights a glaring mismatch between the rhetoric and reality.
