The Council is committed to making the social housing it owns energy efficient where possible.
From 2021 our new build homes will target the highest level EPC rating of A.
All our existing properties will achieve a C energy efficiency rating as a minimum by 2030, saving 709 tonnes of carbon every year from 2030.
We plan to ensure that the energy performance of all our homes achieves a C rating by 2030 (we anticipate achieving this target by March 2026) in line with ‘Cutting the cost of keeping warm – a fuel poverty strategy for England’
This links to our Financial Wellbeing Strategy by helping to address fuel poverty; reducing costs associated with achieving ‘adequate’ levels of heat with our homes.
The costs associated with achieving the goal of ensuring our homes are a C energy performance rating or above by 2030 are set out below
- £8.79m in total
- £1.8m from Green Homes Grant LAD1
- £3.7m from Decent Homes related work
- £3.29m from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund”
