We are working with Harborough Energy to offer householders advice on improving the energy efficiency of their home and providing help to access grants for energy efficiency measures. Harborough District Council have also published their ECO help to Heat Flexibility Criteria Statement of Intent, which allows us to support people who may be at risk of fuel poverty. Letters are being sent to households that are best suited to the latest grants, but you can also read more information about Harborough Energy or contact us if you think you are eligible for help.
If you are off the gas grid, have no central heating and are struggling to heat your home affordably you may benefit from an affordable warmth grant.
If you have a health issue that would be affected by disruptions to your energy supply contact: for electricity - Western Power and sign up to their register for support in the event of a power cut and for gas Cadent Gas.
