Our housing and property team is investing £10m this financial year to deliver a range of energy efficiency measures benefiting our tenants, lowering energy consumption and reducing our carbon footprint.
We’re delivering PVC window upgrades, installing external wall insultation and solar PV panels to make our homes more energy efficient and warmer and more comfortable for our tenants. In addition, these measures also help lower energy consumption and energy bills.
Wishaw tenant, Mr. Nesbit, recently had PV panels fitted to this home and external wall insulation. He said: “I’m happy with the work carried out and hope by having these energy efficiency measures installed it will feel more comfortable during the winter months and help reduce my heating costs.”
Convener of Housing, Councillor Michael McPake, added: “The need for more energy efficient homes has never been greater and I’m delighted to see a wide range of energy efficiency measures being delivered across North Lanarkshire.
“We’re committed to continuing our roll out of measures to benefit our tenants and help reduce household energy costs and tackle fuel poverty. All our energy efficiency saving works help both the tenant and the environment by cutting down on energy use and assist in achieving our ambitious energy efficiency targets.”
North Lanarkshire Council picked up a National Energy Efficiency award after taking top place in the category for Council/Local Authority of the Year, which recognises our vision in improving the energy efficiency of our homes and the environment, together with our drive to tackle fuel poverty and enhance the lives of tenants.
