Greener homes
In Winter 2021 we contacted 133 Council owned homes to install solar panels and another 172 to upgrade the insulation.
This is part of our commitment to improve the energy efficiency of the homes we own and demonstrates the Council’s commitment to reducing the impact we have on the climate.
At the moment, around a quarter of the homes we own – around 800 properties – have an energy efficiency rating of D – we plan to improve the rating of all those homes by 2030.
We have committed to ensuring the existing homes we own have an EPC C energy efficiency rating as a minimum by 2030, if not before, and the new homes we build have an A energy efficiency rating.
Some of the costs of this work is funded by central government, through Green Homes Grants. We will continue to apply for grants to help us meet out commitments.
