Nottingham is set to receive a £153 million investment to enhance energy efficiency across more than 2,500 homes. This initiative, backed by nearly £76 million in government funding, is part of a broader regional push to reduce carbon emissions and lower household energy costs. The funding comes through the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, which was secured by the Midlands Net Zero Hub, hosted by Nottingham City Council.
The funding will be used to upgrade homes in Nottingham, with an emphasis on improving social housing. Properties will benefit from a range of energy-saving improvements, including insulation, better heating controls, and draught-proofing. These upgrades aim to bring properties up to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C, improving energy efficiency and helping to reduce carbon emissions.
This scheme is part of a larger regional effort to improve over 8,500 homes across the Midlands. In addition to environmental benefits, the project is designed to combat fuel poverty, create green jobs, and improve living conditions for social housing residents. This latest funding builds on the previous success of the Midlands Net Zero Hub’s efforts, which secured £62.1 million in earlier rounds.
