Community Energy Efficiency Projects Double Their Fuel Poverty Targets

Published: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:00:00

Forty nine projects in England supported by the Community Energy Efficiency Fund (CEEF) are expected to exceed their targets by 100 per cent, Climate Change Minister Joan Ruddock has announced.

The CEEF aims to reach 300,000 of the most vulnerable households with campaigns to ensure everyone, including those able to pay, can enjoy a warmer and more energy efficient home. But successful projects are predicted to reach 600,000 households across England by the time they reach completion over the next three years.

CEEF projects provide a cost effective way of delivering the Government's flagship programme Warm Front and also CERT. CEEF works in conjunction with the Act on CO2 campaign. Both projects and measures are in place to reduce fuel poverty, promote energy efficiency and tackle climate change.

All CEEF projects needed to plan a strategic campaign which:

  • provides advice to all households in their target community about the energy efficiency measures available to keep homes warm and more comfortable;
  • promotes the availability of subsidies and grants to all households so everyone, particularly the most vulnerable, knows what funding they can receive and how they can apply for the help they need;
  • delivers a whole house approach to ensure each household has effective and sustainable solutions; and
  • communicate in imaginative ways with their local community.
