On average every home in Derby in the Midlands should be able to save more than £600 a year through a £6.6m scheme run by Derby City Council, Derby Homes and the energy company E.ON.

More than 2,200 homes in parts Derby will be fitted with a range of energy saving measures such as insulating solid brick walls, new heating systems, cavity wall and loft insulation, and solar panels as part of a project to help tackle fuel poverty in some of the most deprived areas in the community.

E.ON will put in the bulk of the £3.4m funding with the council covering the vast majority of the remaining costs and private homeowners picking up the rest.

The work is being carried out under the Government's Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP)
