Construction News Image
Energy company E.ON has welcomed the publication of the Government's Household Energy Management Strategy (HEMS).

The company has already seen at first hand the importance of partnership working in delivering results, through Challenge 100, its fuel poverty project.

By working to take 100 families in 100 households out of fuel poverty in 100 days, the company is already taking practical steps to establish the best way to achieve the aim of decarbonising the UK's housing stock, as well as helping raise people out of fuel poverty.

Dr Paul Golby, Chief Executive of E.ON UK, said: "Energy efficiency is absolutely key to keeping down the cost for our customers as the country reduces its carbon emissions.

"Our vision for the future is one where energy suppliers work with their customers to find the best possible solution for them, which could be through better insulation, greater control over their own demand for energy or modern microgeneration technologies such as ground and air source heat pumps.

"But it's also true that energy efficiency measures alone are not enough for some of our most vulnerable customers.

"Getting people out of fuel poverty isn't just about energy companies - only by both improving the standard of people's homes and making sure that they get all the benefits that they're entitled to can we hope to achieve that."
