Oxfordshire County Council has been awarded government funding to help residents on a low-income make their homes more energy efficient.
The scheme is called Warm Homes: Local Grant and is designed to provide fully funded energy efficiency upgrades – such as solar panels and heat pumps – for homeowners and private tenants on a low household income and at risk of fuel poverty.
These upgrades, known as ‘retrofitting’, could help to reduce energy bills and make homes more comfortable to live in.
Households can qualify if they have an income of under £36,000, or receive means-tested benefits, and their home has an EPC rating of D–G.
