Press Release - by Emma Baldwin (South Gloucestershire Council)
To support households to reduce their energy bills and help prevent climate change, South Gloucestershire Council has launched a new scheme to assist residents to install renewable energy technologies in their homes. The council has teamed up with Severn Wye Energy Agency to launch SG Futurenergy, which provides grants of £500 to homeowners that want to install renewable technologies like solar water heating or wind turbines. The scheme includes a helpline manned by expert advisors that give free, impartial advice and support from the initial enquiry to actual installation of a renewable technology. Advisors can help identify the most suitable renewable technologies for your home, give you a list of reliable local installers, and advice about accessing other grants. The scheme has also introduced a fantastic 3% low interest loan which is available to all homeowners to help with the cost of installing a renewable technology. The renewable technologies that are eligible for the scheme's grant and loan include: solar hot water, solar photovoltaics (PV), ground source heat pumps, small scale wind and biomass. To find out more information and to apply for a grant call the SG Futurenergy Renewable Energy Advice Service on 01594 544119, lines are open Mondays to Fridays, 9am until 5pm.
