Orkney Islands Council has contracted Warmworks as its Managing Agent to deliver the Heat and Energy Efficient Scotland: Area-Based Scheme (HEES: ABS) in Orkney. HEES: ABS aims to help homes become warmer and more energy efficient through the installation of energy-saving improvements. It could also help householders manage their energy bills.
The Scottish Government provides funding to local authorities to develop and deliver energy efficiency programmes (mainly solid wall insulation) in areas with high levels of fuel poverty. Fuel poverty is defined by the Scottish Government as a situation where a household cannot afford to keep their home warm.
Orkney Islands Council has secured a proportion of this funding from the Scottish Government to deliver an area-based scheme to assist homeowners, private sector tenants and landlords to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
The money from the Scottish Government can be combined with homeowners’ contributions and funding from private landlords who may choose to insulate their homes at the same time.
Area-based schemes are designed and delivered by councils with local delivery partners. They target areas with higher levels of fuel poverty to provide energy efficiency measures to a large number of Scottish homes, while delivering emission savings and helping reduce fuel poverty.
Warmworks will oversee the delivery of the end-to-end process, ensuring that customers experience a first-class, streamlined service. The graphic below shows the steps that will be involved in the project.
