Domestic energy reduction scheme
This scheme is a low-interest loan initiative by the Council aimed at helping employees improve the energy efficiency of their primary residences. Eligible employees, including those in maintained schools, can apply for loans to fund installations such as loft and cavity wall insulation, central heating boilers, solar panels, and air source heat pumps. The scheme outlines specific eligibility criteria, repayment terms (up to five years), and affordability checks. Applicants must provide supplier quotes and meet minimum installation standards. If employment ends or the employee moves house, the loan must be repaid in full. The scheme encourages exploring alternative grants and emphasizes responsible use, with potential disciplinary action for misuse.
