Home / Environment / Energy / Warm Zone

Newcastle Warm Zone (NWZ), is a dynamic public-private partnership that was set up to tackle fuel poverty and improve energy efficiency across the city. Since April 2004 the project has benefited thousands of households in Newcastle by delivering:-

• free or discounted cavity wall and loft insulation
• improved heating systems
• benefits advice
• energy saving advice

82,950 of Newcastle's 120,000 households have been assessed and over 54,000 insulation measures have been installed in 42,400 homes. £9.72million of new benefits income per year has been secured (all figures fro April 2004 to to December 2012.)

These measures and the advice will contribute towards:

• Reducing excess cold-related deaths in Newcastle;
• Reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions by round 1 million tonnes over the lifetime of the installed measures;
• Increasing the average energy efficiency ratings (SAP) of households in the city;
• Increasing energy efficiency and fuel poverty awareness by offering high quality and accessible advice.
