Nottingham: The city is getting a big boost with over £27 million to help make homes warmer and greener. This funding is aimed at cutting energy costs and reducing carbon emissions for families in need.
The money comes from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. It’s all part of a plan to support the Warm Homes programme over the next three years. The council will use this cash to train folks and businesses on how to install energy-efficient measures and low-carbon heating systems.
A council officer mentioned that this funding is crucial for the Government’s retrofit initiatives. It’s not just about saving energy; it’s also about creating jobs and boosting the local economy. The Midlands Net Zero Hub will manage the funds and help train people in the region.
Officials believe this project will help Nottingham reach its goal of being carbon neutral by 2028. They’re excited about the potential to generate revenue and develop a supply chain that supports a low-carbon economy.
The scheme is set to kick off on January 13, and the council leader, Neghat Khan, is eager to get things rolling on time. It’s a great step forward for Nottingham and its residents!
