Decision Maker: Assistant Director for Regulatory, Environment and Waste Services (Historic)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
- Fuel Poverty affects an estimated 13,902 out
of 84,028 Herefordshire households (16.5%). This figure is higher
than the national level of 13.4% and reflects the challenges that
the county faces in relation to the energy efficiency of properties
including a large proportion of older, hard to treat ‘solid
wall’ properties, restricted access to mains gas and the
resulting prevalence of expensive heating fuel systems.
- The fund, administered by the Department for Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is allocating funding to be used to
improve the energy efficiency of low-income houses living in
Herefordshire and Shropshire as well as supporting the green
recovery in response to Covid-19.
- The project will allow an estimated 50 Herefordshire and
Shropshire households to access fully funded renewable Air Source
Heat Pump (ASHP) systems/Solid Wall Insulation (SWI) and/or energy
efficient glazing and doors.
