Saving energy

We are committed to maximising Energy Company Obligation (ECO) funding for energy efficiency works to households most likely to be in fuel poverty across North Lanarkshire. Our statement of intent sets out how we aim to help the most vulnerable households and increase the uptake of energy efficiency improvements for such households.

Information is also available about payments and grants to help the over 60s stay warm within their homes over the winter period.
