Equans to deliver major green upgrades to social housing in Scunthorpe

Equans will soon start work on a multi-million-pound project, on behalf of social housing provider Ongo Homes, which will drastically reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty for homes in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire.

Improvements will be made to 169 houses and bungalows, helping to make them cheaper to heat by up to 40% per year.

Quote from Andrea Morley,

“We’re thrilled to have received this funding. We know what a huge difference it will make to our tenants and their homes. A lot of hard work went into the bid, and our partner, Equans, played a pivotal role in securing this funding. The real work starts now, and we’re excited to improve our homes and make them much more efficient to run.”
Andrea Morley, Sustainability and Carbon Reduction Manager for Ongo

Quote from Steve Batty,

“The bespoke combination of energy efficient technology and upgrades being installed to these homes across Scunthorpe will make a huge difference to their affordability and comfort. In Scunthorpe, 16.9% of households live in fuel poverty, higher than the national average of 13%, so it is vitally important that we work together locally to help reduce energy bills for residents, especially when energy prices are set to increase this month.”
Steve Batty, Director of Sustainability at Equans UK & Ireland
