We are pleased to announce that Mears has joined the Energy Bill Revolution alliance, for warm homes and lower bills.
The Energy Bill Revolution is calling on the Government to use the money it gets from carbon taxes to make our homes super-energy efficient. This is the only permanent way to drive down energy bills and end fuel poverty.
From next year the Government will be collecting over £2 billion in carbon tax every year, rising to £4 billion by 2020 and £7 billion by 2027. Recycled back into energy efficiency programmes, this would be enough to super-insulate more than 600,000 homes a year, bringing 9 out of 10 homes out of fuel poverty. It could also quadruple carbon emission savings from households compared to the government’s new energy efficiency policies and create up to 200,000 more jobs – exactly what we need to support the UK’s economic recovery.
Head of External Relations Abigail Lock said:
“Mears Energy’s vision is to eradicate fuel poverty by finding an energy solution for every home. This is why we are supporting the Energy Bill Revolution. Mears’ work takes us into some of the UK’s most deprived communities and our staff are on the front line, actively promoting energy efficiency to over 600,000 social homes and 20,000 recipients of our care and support services.”
