Introduction

Typical Neath Port Talbot council housing
Neath Port Talbot led the way in Wales by launching the most comprehensive fuel poverty and energy efficiency project in the country. The local authority teamed up with Warm Wales to offer everyone in the borough the opportunity to become more energy efficient. The project has the potential to invest about £10 million in residents' homes.

The 'Bringing warm homes to Neath Port Talbot' project involves many other organisations too - including the Wales Assembly Government, National Grid and npower - who have created a dynamic partnership to help eradicate fuel poverty and tackle energy efficiency on a large scale.

Warm Wales will visit every home in the borough over a 3 year period to offer free home insulation, benefits advice and in some cases, central heating too. Those households that do not qualify for free work can benefit from major discounts on the cost of home insulation.

'Bringing warm homes to Neath Port Talbot' has taken the best ideas and practices from the most successful of the 5 Warm Zone pilots set up by the Government in England from 1999 to 2004. The scheme has developed these ideas to achieve higher levels of success in Neath Port Talbot.
