Energy Saving Trust analysis of EPC records found that “nearly 20% of homes in rural areas are in the very energy inefficient F and G categories, compared to just 2.4% in urban areas”.

Switching to cleaner forms of energy can be challenging in rural areas, with incomes less than the national average and homes typically larger, and therefore more expensive to heat.

This webinar will look at the route to zero carbon for rural housing associations and landlords, with our expert panel discussing:

the potential challenges insulating rural buildings

low-carbon heating options for off-grid properties

the need for renewable infrastructure in rural communities

overcoming the ‘fuel poverty gap’ in these areas
