Energy Efficient Housing

NEA has been at the forefront of calls to ensure improving the energy efficiency of homes is regarded as the best way to end fuel poverty and reduce emissions. In 2019 NEA helped ensure all the manifestos of each of the main political parties made major cross-party commitments to end fuel poverty by dramatically improving energy efficiency in homes. NEA has also championed the need for maintaining investment in Wales. Our Energy Justice Campaign has also enjoyed continued success with the announcement of a fourth extension to the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme (NISEP) until March 2023. Whilst there are national energy efficiency schemes elsewhere, England is currently without one. Securing a new treasury-funded scheme to complement current programmes remains one of our leading advocacy priorities.
