Under this scheme energy suppliers make regular payments to householders and communities who generate their own electricity from renewable or low carbon sources such as solar electricity (PV) panels. For more information go to the energy saving trust website.
The Warm Front grant scheme is a government-funded initiative that provides grants for energy efficient heating and insulation in private sector properties, for those who fulfil the eligibility criteria. Go to the Warm Front scheme page to find out if you are eligible to apply.
The Coldbusters grant scheme installs energy efficient heating and insulation in private sector properties, for those who fulfil the eligibility criteria. Go to the Coldbusters scheme page to find out if you are eligible to apply.
All major energy suppliers are required to achieve targets for promoting reductions in carbon emissions and therefore offer discounted or free insulation for eligible householders.
