Aiming to reduce fuel bills across county
Individuals and businesses in East Sussex looking to reduce their fuel bills could get help from a new energy saving initiative.
East Sussex County Council is to sign a special agreement with its neighbour West Sussex County Council to see how the two authorities could work together to promote the national ‘Green Deal’ scheme. This is a new government initiative to allow people to install energy saving technologies in their homes or businesses with no upfront costs. The cost of installation is paid back over a period of time through energy bills.
Councillor Carl Maynard, lead member for transport and environment, said: “It’s estimated that over 14% of our households in East Sussex suffer from fuel poverty compared with the south east average of 11.5%. We want to support the most vulnerable in our county and this national initiative could help us to tackle fuel poverty at a local level.” For more information visit www.westsussex.gov.uk/greendeal.
