'This funding will help some of the lowest income households'
Thousands of social housing tenants are set to see as much as £400 slashed from their yearly energy bills, the Government said as it announced a new round of funding for home upgrades.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said more than 8,000 more households across the country were now set to benefit from energy efficient upgrades. A list of 42 winning projects, councils and organisations has been released, including properties in Blackpool, Cheshire West and east Lancashire.
Secretary of State for Energy Security Claire Coutinho said: "Our Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund is helping families to keep their homes warm and their bills down. We want to support hard-working families to make changes, rather than burdening them with unnecessary costs. "We're now going even further to cut energy bills for more social tenants, all while supporting an additional 1,300 jobs in the UK’s retrofit industry."
