Energy Tax Credit

Fenland District Council are working in partnership with British Gas to ensure that Fenland residents are conserving heat within their homes in order to prevent fuel poverty and illness among the vulnerable. The Energy Tax Credit Scheme has now launched and is designed to encourage residents to adequately insulate their properties. Fenland District Council will grant an Energy Tax Credit of £50 to any Fenland resident who uses a British Gas contractor to install loft or cavity wall insulation. To arrange a visit from a British Gas installer call 0845 971 7731 quoting reference FEN. This offer can also be claimed in conjunction with the ongoing Cashback Scheme. If you are in receipt of an income related benefit you may be eligible for free cavity wall and loft insulation through British Gas and can claim by ringing the same number.

The Tax Credit Scheme provides an opportunity to reduce the cost of installing energy efficient measures and reduce the impact your lifestyle has on the environment. If you would like to take advantage of this please contact:
