Kirklees Council

Kirklees Council spent £1.7m to create a flexible energy management and payment process for its residents and provide a five-year maintenance and data administration programme for all homes connected to the community heating supply.

There are 1032 homes on 25 individual schemes; the council wanted all residents to be able to become actively involved in managing their energy more efficiently and help reduce fuel poverty and carbon emissions. 

Since the implementation of new metering technology, residents have reduced overall energy consumption by15%, with future annual consumption possibly being reduced by as much as 30 to 50%.
