The company will collaborate with A&amp;D Carbon Solutions, a renewable energy specialist recently acquired by Earnz for \u00a32.8m.<\/p>\n<p>Earnz CEO Peter Smith said: &#8220;We are delighted to have secured such a significant contract. Working for Equans and Bradford City Council, we will be helping residents make their homes cheaper to heat, healthier to live in and lower in carbon emissions. We will also be supporting the local community with employment opportunities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steve Batty, director of sustainability at Equans, added: \u201cEquans is looking forward to working in partnership with Earnz on the delivery of this scheme. This project, supported by Government funding, will help to reduce residents&#8217; energy bills in what are challenging times due to the rising costs of living, whilst also helping the environment by reducing carbon emissions across the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project includes the installation of advanced insulation, efficient heating systems, and renewable energy technologies, aiming to reduce energy consumption. Further phases of the contract are anticipated over the next two years, potentially reaching a maximum value of \u00a37.1m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bradford City Council
