The issue

Housing associations are instrumental in providing high quality; affordable housing that meets local needs.

Increasingly, however, more and more housing associations are becoming aware that they need to provide homes, which are as energy efficient as possible. This will help them to comply with government targets to reduce C02 emissions, yet at the same time, they also need to provide tenants with warm, dry homes that are affordable to heat.

The solution

Withreduced running costs, and the fact that they offer residents genuinely affordable heating, CHP and community energy schemes are becoming increasingly popular with housing associations.

This type of technology can help to reduce fuel poverty by bringing abundant and affordable heat and energy to the most financially disadvantaged sections of society. And it’s for this very reason that Vital Energi is becoming increasingly involved with these specialist projects, whether using our experience to retrofit systems into an existing scheme, or install them as part of an on-going development programme for new build housing.

We can offer a total solution to the issue of affordable energy, from developing proposals and designs, through project installation and on to asset management, including operation and maintenance, as well as metering and billing.
