Community energy planning
Our approach to community energy comprises:
- support to residents to insulate their homes and improve energy efficiency
- support to vulnerable residents during the winter to keep warm and well
- resource efficiency advice and support to businesses and communities
- capital financing to improve energy efficiency and develop renewable energy in West Suffolk. This is through local investment to deliver savings and generate real value to the taxpayer.
