Nealy 31,000 applications were made last month for energy efficiency improvements

Nearly 223,000 homes in northern regions are estimated to miss out on the chance to install green measures, according to a new report

The firm will hire electrical installers, roofers and safety assessors

Responding to the announcement, EnergyUK said scrapping the scheme before it got off the ground will undermine trust

The funding will support the installation of green measures, including heat pumps, insulation and solar panels

The initiative delivered insulation measures to bring energy bills and carbon emissions down

Measures include ground and air source heat pumps, district heating networks and solar panels

The most common measure installed was loft Insulation, followed by cavity wall according to BEIS

The body’s concerns stem from the lifespan of the initiative which is considered to be too short to deliver the ambitious government’s target of 600,000 homes

The new material, which uses wood from the fast-growing, low-density balsa tree, proves to be more durable and lighter than glass, according to research
