£2.9m to boost energy efficiency in Nottingham social homes

Proposals to make energy efficiency improvements to a further 370 social homes have been given green light by the Nottingham City Council. The local authority has agreed to plans at its Executive Board meeting on Tuesday, June 20.

SHDF Wave 2.1 will see Nottingham City Council install a range of measures to the selected homes including cavity wall insulation, external wall insulation, loft insulation, draughtproofing and heating controls. The upgrades will be made to around 370 homes with low energy performance certificates which are the most challenging for tenants to keep warm, the Nottingham City Council said.

These improvements aim to help residents feel more comfortable in their homes – keeping them warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The city council said the scheme will also bring additional benefits to the social housing tenants, including reducing energy bills, improving health outcomes, and building pride in neighbourhoods.

These projects support Nottingham’s ambition to be the first carbon neutral city in the UK by 2028 and the City Council’s aim to eliminate fuel poverty. Councillor Corall Jenkins, Portfolio Holder for Energy, Environment and Waste Services and Parks, said: “It’s fantastic that we have secured more funding to improve social homes in the city.
