£11.1 million boost to tackle fuel poverty and boost energy efficiency in the Liverpool City Region’s social housing
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is set to receive an additional £11.1 million to work with nine Housing Associations to improve the energy performance of nearly 1250 social housing properties, tackling fuel poverty and reducing carbon emissions.
This additional funding will enable measures including external wall insulation, roof insulation, energy efficient doors and windows, heat pumps and solar panels to be fitted to 1242 homes across the Liverpool City Region.
The £11.1m funding announced today has been secured from the government’s national Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund. The Combined Authority will work with nine Housing Associations to make the energy efficiency improvements to homes across the Liverpool City Region.
This is one of several national housing retrofit funding streams launched in recent months. This is the beginning of a 15-year programme to enable all housing to achieve the national target for all homes to attain an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of Band C by 2035, where practicable and contribute to the Liverpool City Region’s Net Zero Carbon target of 2040.
