Meet the Utilita Energy High 5 Winners

Meet the Utilita Energy High 5 Winners
Date: 11th Dec 2020
Content Type: News
Nation / Region: England , Wales
Tags: Awards , Campaigns , Energy Efficiency

This winter will be difficult for thousands living in fuel poverty – which is why NEA has partnered with Utilita to provide £10,000 of funding as part of the Utilita Energy High Five Awards. This funding will support work to tackle fuel poverty in local communities. There is a huge range of activities taking place from children’s art competitions to display energy efficiency measures to providing winter warmer packs which will provide essentials for shielding householders.

We had an outstanding selection of applicants but we have chosen twenty worthy winners:

  • Fuel Bank Foundation
  • Public Voice CIC
  • Repowering Ltd
  • Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire
  • Southwark Group of Tenants Organisation
  • Aelwyd Housing Association
  • Groundwork London
  • Middlesbrough Council
  • Southport Eco Centre
  • Citizens Advice Derbyshire Districts
  • Citizens Advice Purbeck
  • Chichester Wellebing
  • Sefton O.P.E.R.A
  • Citizens Advice Allerdale
  • Groundwork Yorkshire
  • South Dartmoor Community Energy
  • Sufra NW London
  • Thanet District Council
  • Thurrock Council
  • National Energy Foundation

Adam Scorer, Chief Executive, NEA commented: “This will be a difficult winter for many, but as our winners demonstrate there is also some brilliant work being undertaken to help people in local communities stay warm at home. I want to thank the successful organisations for their commitment to assisting people in fuel poverty, and Utilita for their generosity in supporting these awards.”

Bill Bullen, environmentalist and CEO of Utilita, commented: “As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, many families across the country may be worried about rising energy bills to keep their home warm during the winter months. That’s why we have a number of programmes in place to help low-income households and vulnerable people, such as our ‘Power Up’ initiative which has honoured £5.8m in interest free loans to pay for energy since March 2020. The Utilita Energy High 5 Awards forms part of our ongoing commitment to help tackle fuel poverty and improve energy efficiency and we’re looking forward to seeing how the investment is spent in the coming months to help those most in need.”
