£4.3m awarded to help homeowners improve energy efficiency and save money on their bills

Dorset Council, BCP Council and Public Health Dorset have been awarded £4,343,000 by central government to upgrade homes and off-grid households with energy efficiency measures as part of the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) scheme.

The HUG scheme will provide energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating via local authority funding, to households in England that are low income, off the gas grid or have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) between D and G.
​
We’ll be able to utilise these funds via our Healthy Homes Dorset programme – funded by Dorset Council, BCP Council and Public Health Dorset – and make sure many more people are able to install energy efficiency measures and low carbon heating at no cost to themselves.
