Energy Conservation
The Council recognises the many benefits of energy conservation and is committed to improving energy efficiency standards.
The Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) 1995 requires all local authorities within the UK, with a responsibility for housing, to prepare an annual energy conservation report. This report should identify practicable and cost-effective measures that will significantly improve the energy efficiency of all residential accommodation in the authority's area.
Local Authorities are expected to have developed a strategy for making substantial progress to achieving a 30% reduction in energy consumption over a ten-year period from 1st April 1996.
