The work will make the homes warmer in the winter
More than £47m in funding has been granted to improve the energy efficiency of up to 4,226 socially-owned homes in the region. The Midlands Net Zero Hub has successfully secured the grants from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and plans to use The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund to improve homes.
The grants will be used to issue a ‘fabric-first’ approach, which will involve more than 15,000 measures such as insulation, draught-proofing and double glazing installed to improve the Energy Performance Certificate of the properties. This approach also ensures renewable technologies, including heat pumps, are more effective.
"Not only do schemes like SHDF make homes more comfortable for tenants and reduce energy bills, they also help to minimise carbon emissions from domestic properties. We are committed to supporting the country’s target to be net zero by 2050 through the work that we do both across the region and nationally."
