Inside Manchester's massive plan to bring down energy bills
02.10.2022 - 12:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Energy bills are at the forefront of many Mancunians' minds at the moment. As the cost of heating homes increases, everyone will be looking for ways to save money by using less energy this winter – but long-term fixes are costly.
In fact, the average price of retrofitting a property to make it more energy efficient, is estimated to be between £25,000 and £30,000 in Manchester. Solar panels, air source heat pumps and better insulation would all lower bills while contributing to tackling climate change.
But as the cost of living crisis continues, many simply cannot spare the cash. So Manchester plans to invest millions in its own social housing stock using government funding - and to invest in training and education in retro-fitting.
For politicians in Manchester, energy efficiency is crucial to cutting the city's carbon emissions. But it's hoped with the increased focus on the cost of energy, more government funding will become available to make it happen.

Speaking at a council meeting in September, Manchester councillor Gavin White, who is the executive member for housing and development at the town hall, said the Labour administration is 'passionate' about all aspects of this issue.
"This is an issue of climate justice," he said. "But it's also a moral and social justice issue."
Manchester is set to miss its target of halving its emissions by 2025 and blow its carbon budget for the rest of this century within five years. If Manchester is going to achieve its aim of becoming a zero carbon city by 2038, it must act on housing which accounts for around 30 pc of emissions. That means billions will have to go into upgrading homes.
