Insulation and other energy efficiency measures take up 'affected by cheap energy'
26 January 2010
Many people are likely to struggle to make energy
efficiency changes - which could include installing insulation -
because they have experienced years of cheap energy, it has been
suggested.
Lesley Tudor-Snodin of National Energy Action (NEA) said the
organisation is working to encourage people to be energy efficient
from a young age.
It is working with school children to educate them about
energy-efficiency measures.
Her comments follow the release of a report by Ofgem showing a rise
in the number of people getting into debt with energy
companies.
Many people will have experienced particularly high energy bills
due to the cold snap earlier this month.
One way in which people can reduce their energy bills and improve
their energy efficiency is
installing insulation.
According to the Energy Saving Trust,
cavity
wall insulation can cut energy bills by around £115 a
year.
Ms Tudor-Snodin also recommended people can balance out high energy
use during the winter by being more energy efficient during the
warmer months.
