Funding Boost will Deliver Greater Heating Efficiency at Over 60s Homes in Flintshire
Social landlord ClwydAlyn has benefitted from £100,000 worth of Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES) support to contribute to efficiency improvements to the heat network at a purpose-built independent living scheme for older people in Flintshire.
Across the UK, around half a million residents are connected to one of 12,000 heat networks installed across the nation. HNES is once again targeting inefficient heat network infrastructure to help create warmer, more cost-effective, and future proofed heat networks for thousands of residents.
Within England and Wales 8,200 residents are set to benefit from more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable heating thanks in part to support provided in Round 9 of the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme (HNES).
In this round, over £8 million of support has been awarded to help improve the efficiency of underperforming heat networks throughout England and Wales. One of the recipients of the scheme is ClwydAlyn, a provider of social homes across North Wales. The social landlord is the beneficiary of £100,000 of Capital Grant Funding which will be utilised at one of its Flintshire independent living schemes, Llys Eleanor in Shotton. ClwydAlyn has independently match-funded the HNES support, allocating the total amount for efficiency improvements to the scheme’s heat network. The network previously received support in Round 6 for an optimisation study, and capital funding will help the organisation to implement recommended improvements. These include the installation of heat meters, network cleaning, and the installation of Heat Interface Units (HIUs) in individual homes.
“The HNES funded optimisation study has provided significant learning around the improvements we can make, not only at Llys Eleanor, but also to our 15 other heat networks in ClwydAlyn residential schemes across North Wales.
“These upgrades are improving efficiency, reducing energy consumption and helping our residents to better manage their heat usage.”
“Once again, thousands more residents will benefit from a more reliable central heating system thanks to HNES support, while homes and buildings across England and Wales become more energy efficient and carbon friendly.”
