So far 134 privately owned homes have had solar panels installed for free, through a Government-funded scheme.
When the project is completed in the Summer, solar panels will have been installed on more than 650 homes across the city, which will supply their homes with renewable energy and save an estimated £290 per year on their energy bills.
It’s great to hear customer feedback that the work has been carried out to a high standard and that they really appreciate having access to free and green energy
While this phase of the scheme is no longer accepting applicants, homeowners who live in cold homes (with a low EPC rating) and who have a household income of less than £30,000 per year can now apply to have their homes insulated for free through the upcoming phase.
Installations are expected to start this Autumn, so you can apply now through Nottingham Energy Partnership.
It’s reported that heating homes is responsible for about 14% of the UK’s carbon emissions.
In Nottingham, we have a stretching target to be carbon neutral by 2028 and enabling local homes to be more energy efficient helps us achieve this.
It’s great to see local people saving money and reducing their carbon emissions at the same time.
