Cash aid for renewable heating systems
Carmarthenshire residents are being urged to move quickly to benefit from a new grant for renewable heating.
Cash aid is being offered to help homeowners install renewable heating systems.
The funding has just been launched by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and will be given on a first come first served basis.
Grants of up to £1,250 are available and up to 25,000 installations will be funded under the Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme.
Carmarthenshire County Council sustainability advisers have called on residents to apply for their share of the pot.
Grants will be given for ground source heat pumps, biomass boilers, air source heat pumps and solar thermal hot water panels.
The scheme is aimed at helping people living off the mains gas supply, who have to rely on inefficient electric heating.
Carmarthenshire’s Sustainability Advisor Eurgain Powell said: “The council is committed to reducing carbon emissions and is actively promoting the importance of sustainable living.
“Renewable heating systems can lead to real financial savings as well as a reduction in energy costs and our carbon footprint.
“This new scheme by the DECC is to be welcomed and I would urge anyone with an interest to make an application.”
The programme will be run by the Energy Saving Trust and anyone eligible will receive a voucher up to the grant value with a set time to redeem it.
