Tenants Participate In Energy Fantasy League
Tenants in Norris Green are taking part in an Energy Fantasy League that has been established by Liverpool Mutual Homes (LMH) with support from energy company E.ON.
The 12-month scheme involves around 70 recently refurbished and renovated properties around Broad Lane and is intended to help residents become more energy efficient.
E.ON has donated £4,000 to LMH to help kick start the league into action, which is a pilot project for both organisations.
Participating tenants, or 'Fuel Busters', have been entered into teams of eight households and have submitted energy bills from the previous year. Over the course of the league, residents are being challenged to save energy, which could help to reduce their bills.
Each month, households will provide meter readings to LMH, so they can track how energy is being used. A monthly energy-saving prize will be awarded to the most efficient home and best performing team in the league.
One volunteer from each team will also become a 'Fuel Buster Leader', and will undertake training in how to overcome fuel poverty and provide additional support to the other households in the league.
Mandy Taylor, Regeneration Initiatives Officer at LMH, said: "The Energy Fantasy League in Norris Green has been established as part of our commitment to helping our tenants boost their energy efficiency.
"We've had a good response to the initiative and the households involved are already starting to get competitive. We're grateful to E.ON for supporting the scheme, which will help to educate residents about being more energy savvy."
The overall league winner will take home a low energy rated large kitchen appliance and an end of league celebration will be held in 2014.
