Green Homes Grants available for low-income properties

Residents in private properties in Warwick District can apply for funding to improve the energy efficiency of their home through the Sustainable Warmth Competition.
 
Funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and delivered by the Council’s delivery partner E.ON with support from Act On Energy, the scheme aims to help improve the energy efficiency of low income private households in the District with free improvements to their home including solar PV panels, insulation and air source heat pumps.
 
To be eligible, residents must:

• Own and live in their home; and
• Have a gross household income of less than £30,000 year OR someone in the home receives a means tested benefit and
• Have an EPC rating of D, E, F or G; if the home doesn’t have an EPC rating then E.ON will arrange this for you if they think that your property is energy inefficient

Funding is provided up to a maximum of £10,000 per property subject to the terms and conditions of the grant, with the work carried out by a Trustmark registered contractor.
Applications are being made through local charity Act On Energy, with E.ON Energy Solutions carrying out the installations.
