Missions, Aims and Objectives

Both North East and Yorkshire Humberside are financed until march 2009 and are based upon bringing:

• a “whole-community”, whole-house package of affordable warmth measures;
• the provision of gas connections to non-gas areas with the supply of high efficiency gas-fired heating systems to qualifying households
• renewable energy and/or associated technologies.

The mission of CES in both regions is to make a difference to the lives of people in their communities by making their homes more energy efficient, healthy and comfortable, and their heating more affordable.

In an approach that is radically different, CES aims to switch household fuel from high emission, high cost, sources such as oil and coal to cheaper fuels that are either low carbon or carbon neutral. The two regions should therefore see the benefit of reduced carbon emissions.

A further aim is to increase general household income and reduce economic inactivity by ensuring that full benefits advice and support is given where possible.  

The commitment to deliver cost effective energy and affordable warmth measures will be achieved by:

• Introducing technology that enhances energy and carbon efficiency
• Reducing the burden of energy costs upon the disadvantaged
• Pooling resources of funding organisations, solution providers and delivery partners
• Helping households understand the benefits associated with improved energy efficiency;
• Creating economic leverage with the provision of benefits advice to potentially qualifying households
• Contributing to the regional regeneration agenda by actively engaging partners to promote local industry
