Energy upgrade funding for eligible properties in Northumberland

28 Jun 2024

Eligible homes in the county are set to benefit from funding for low-carbon energy upgrades. 

Northumberland County Council has been successful in securing £12.4m as part of the Government’s Home Upgrade Grant Phase 2 (HUG2) to install energy efficiency improvements to properties which are not connected to mains gas and are using resources such as oil, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), inefficient electric heaters or coal. 

Eligible households in the county, including owner-occupied and privately owned properties, can apply for energy saving upgrades which may include loft, cavity wall, internal wall, or underfloor insulation, air source heat pumps or solar panels, helping households, keep warm, become more energy efficient and reduce their carbon footprint. 

Households can check their eligibility and apply at https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/Climate-Change/Renewable-energy.aspx 

Eligible homes will receive an assessment to determine which measures are most appropriate.
