£41m investment to improve energy efficiency in 2,000 homes
Amplius, formed from the merger of Longhurst Group and Grand Union Housing Group, is set to invest around £41m to boost energy efficiency in nearly 2,000 homes across the Midlands and East of England.
The funding comes after the company secured a provisional £20.3m from wave 3 of the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund.
The planned upgrades will improve homes in counties like Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Lincolnshire.
Improvements such as insulation, new doors and windows, and low-carbon heating upgrades will help achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C.
It follows Amplius’ success with its wave 2.1 project, which saw £16m go into 750 homes.
Marcus Keys, chief development & commercial officer at Amplius said: “Sustainability and energy efficiency are key focuses for us as an organisation, so to be able to invest a large amount of money into improving nearly 2,000 homes is a major piece of work for us.”
“Combined with the work we’ve done as part of wave 2.1 of the programme, we’ll have improved the energy efficiency of 2,700 of our homes, which demonstrates our commitment to providing warm, safe and secure homes for our customers.”
Amplius will collaborate with Morgan Sindall Property Services to deliver the programme.
Mustafa Mustafa, head of decarbonisation at Morgan Sindall Property Services said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to continue our partnership with Amplius and support in delivering their net-zero targets.”
The program marks a significant step towards improving energy efficiency and reducing fuel poverty, with Amplius committed to delivering more comfortable, sustainable homes for its residents.
