Warm Wales Cymru Gynnes work to alleviate fuel poverty in Wales and the South West through community projects and partnership working. You can find out out more about Warm Wales and our current projects by downloading our corporate brochure which is available in English and Welsh.
Warm Wales was established in 2004 by the National Grid as part of that company’s specific aim to meet its corporate responsibility to Government and deliver benefits to 1 million fuel poor homes. It chose to do this under the banner of the ‘Affordable Warmth’ Programme with Warm Wales contributing towards the target.
In 2006 Warm Wales changed company status to become Wales’ first Community Interest Company (CIC). Being a CIC means we have no shareholders, instead any profits made are put back into the communities we serve. Our status also means that we bring a community centric approach to economic, social and environmental sustainability. We invest in the communities in which we work and leave a legacy of positive achievements. A small selection of our past projects are included on this website.
The years since our launch have witnessed huge changes for the energy efficiency industry. Schemes such as The Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC), The Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), The Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP) and the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) 1 are just some of the schemes have that have been and gone; whilst others including the latest ECO release are still with us.
Monitoring the availability of funding and assessing its suitability to aid communities is a key part of what we do. Being able to access grant aid from a number of sources enables us to provide innovative solutions for challenging projects. Read about our current projects and how we are assisting people.
