• Renewable electricity provider E.ON1 continues to work with local authorities across the country to successfully deliver grants for eligible homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their homes
• The grants are part of the Government-led Green Homes Grant Local Delivery Scheme which is open for applications until 31st March 2022
• The grants can be used to fund energy efficiency improvements including insulation, double glazing and smart heating controls, helping lower bills and make homes more sustainable
• Funding can also be used to help improve the way homes are heated and powered, by installing an air source heat pump or solar PV

Renewable electricity provider E.ON1 is continuing to work with local authorities across the country to deliver government-funded grants of up to £10,000 per household to eligible residents to fund the installation of energy saving measures in their homes. People are being encouraged to apply for support this winter.

E.ON is currently working with almost 60 local authorities across the country to deliver the Green Homes Grant scheme in around 8,000 homes. So far, almost 600 households across the country have become more sustainable as part of the first phase of the scheme, which remains open to new applicants until 31^st March 2022.

Michael Lewis, E.ON UK Chief Executive, said: “Improving the energy efficiency of homes across the UK is not only critical to helping keep people warm and stay in control of their energy use and spend, it’s also fundamental to achieving our net zero target.

“By working with local authorities to offer these government-funded grants to homeowners, we’re helping people take action for the climate and play their individual role in improving the energy efficiency of the UK’s housing stock.

“We’ve already helped almost 600 households across the country to become more sustainable and we’re continuing to work with local authorities up and down the UK to install measures in thousands more homes. Together, we’re helping to significantly improve people’s homes and their comfort, while also helping to combat the climate crisis.”

Who is eligible for the funding?

• Eligible applicants need to have a gross annual household income of £30,000 or less and live in a home with a low energy efficiency rating (EPC band E, F or G).
• Qualifying applicants will be offered a home survey to determine the most suitable improvements for their homes.
• Applicants do not need to be E.ON or E.ON Next energy customers to benefit.
