Shettleston Housing Association is partnering with SFHA's Strategic Partner Warmworks, an organisation with 10 years of experience in tackling fuel poverty, to deliver a new project that will make homes warmer for tenants in Glasgow.
The Renewable Heat Project with Shettleston Housing Association will see 15 properties fitted with energy efficiency improvements including air source heat pumps, solar panels, and battery storage technology, with the aim of reducing energy bills and improving home comfort levels for tenants.
This project has been made possible through £241,344 funding from the Scottish Government's Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund.
Tracey Kernahan, Chair of Shettleston Housing Association, commented: “As a community-based housing association, we are dedicated to improving our tenants’ quality of life and increasing the sustainability of our properties. We’re delighted to be partnering with Warmworks to help create warmer homes and reduce energy costs for residents, while also making a positive environmental impact.”
Paul McGhee, Warmworks’ Managing Director, Local Delivery Division, said:“Warmworks has extensive experience of working closely with social landlords across Scotland to help them lift their tenants out of fuel poverty and decarbonise their housing stock, and we’re proud to be working closely with Shettleston Housing Association to deliver warmer, more energy efficient homes and lower fuel bills for their tenants.”
Shettleston Housing Association provides over 2,400 affordable homes and related services to the people and communities of the Shettleston, Greenfield, Springboig, and Sandyhills areas of Glasgow.
Warmworks delivers a range of energy efficiency contracts across the UK, aimed at helping people to better manage their energy costs and improve the energy efficiency of their home.
