To seek approval to accept the Sustainable
Warmth Grant funding following a successful bid.
Approval has been given to accept funding from
the sustainable warmth competition that will support residents
living in fuel poverty across Scarborough, Ryedale and
Hambleton.
Sustainable Warmth is a Government competition
launched to bring together two fuel poverty schemes into a single
funding opportunity for Local Authorities. The funding will provide
upgrades to low-income households living both on and off the gas
grid to tackle fuel poverty and contribute towards net zero
targets. It will help some of the least efficient homes become more
energy efficient and cheaper to heat with low-carbon energy. These
upgrades aim to create warmer homes at lower cost, and will support
low-income families with the switch to low-carbon heating, ensuring
fuel poor households are not left behind in the transition to net
zero.
