Green Homes Grant Nottinghamshire
Which free or subsidised home improvement measures could you be eligible for?
What is the Green Homes Grant?
The new ‘Green Homes Grant’ is a Government initiative which will support UK households to improve their homes over the next 2 years, until March 2022 .
How can I benefit from the Green Homes Grant scheme?
There are two different ways your household can get involved with the scheme:
- Local Authority Delivery Scheme
Nottinghamshire residents can benefit from the Green Homes Grant Nottinghamshire, which is a Local Authority Delivery Scheme run by the Nottingham Energy Partnership, E.ON* and Nottinghamshire County Council. This scheme allows eligible residents to benefit from the home improvement measures, free of charge.
To qualify for the free Green Homes Grant home improvement measures through the Local Delivery Scheme, you must:
– Be a Nottingham County resident, and
– Be a homeowner or landlord**, and
– Have a combined gross household income under £30,000, and
– Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of D,E,F or G. You can check the EPC of your property on this Government website.
* Please note that you do not need to be an E.ON customer to take part in the scheme.
** Please note that landlords can only benefit from partially funded improvements.
- Voucher Scheme
Any Nottingham City or Nottinghamshire resident can benefit from the Green Homes Grant voucher scheme, which will provide households with vouchers to cover up to 2/3 of the cost of qualifying improvements in their homes. There are two kinds of vouchers available:
– Voucher with the maximum value of up £5,000 per household is available for any homeowner or landlord.
– Voucher with the maximum value of up to £10,000 per household is available only for homeowners. For this voucher, one occupier must be in receipt of one of the following qualifying benefits: Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), Income-based Employment & Support Allowance (ESA), Income Support (IS) Pension Guarantee Credit, Working Tax Credit (WTC), Child Tax Credits (CTC), Universal Credit (UC), Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Severe Disablement Allowance, Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, Contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), Contribution-based Employment & Support Allowance (ESA), Housing Benefit. This higher value voucher is not available to landlords.
You can quickly find out which of the two vouchers you are eligible for by completing the questionnaire available on Simple Energy Advice’s website.
