Warm Zone, BGC, Baxi, Veolia to deliver affordable warmth

Warm Zone, BGC, Baxi Group and Veolia Water Outsourcing have collaborated to help local authorities and registered social landlords (RSLs) to address the issues of fuel poverty in off-mains gas areas.

Each organisation is a specialist in its field. Together they can deliver utility networks and energy solutions that will enable home energy conservation targets to be met, carbon emissions to be significantly reduced and affordable warmth to be provided for vulnerable and low income households.

In particular, they install major gas network extensions into off-mains gas areas throughout the UK where grants are available to finance projects for households experiencing fuel poverty and hardship.

Between them the four organisations can develop proposals for the design, installation, ownership, maintenance and operation of the gas network extension project. And they can suggest the most appropriate home heating product for each dwelling.

William Gillis, Managing Director, Warm Zone, explains: “We aim to identify homes in the most deprived areas and enable them to benefit financially from reduced fuel bills. And we can reduce the carbon footprint of the least efficient homes in line with local authority and Government targets.”

Paul Reynolds, General Manager for Multi-utility services at Veolia Water Outsourcing said: “I’m delighted that our companies are combining expertise and working together to providing gas extension projects for areas of hardship. Veolia Water Outsourcing has the vital experience and knowledge of providing multi-utility infrastructure to large scale housing development projects. With the other members in this consortia, we can offer a complete, trusted solution for local authorities and social landlords.”
