This innovative pilot programme by Warwick District Council, in partnership with Go Renewable, has already seen some residents benefit from expert guidance, advice and support when exploring the installation of renewable technologies.

The scheme, which closes at the end of March 2026, provides a limited number of eligible residents with fully subsidised home surveys to assess their property’s suitability for renewable technologies. The initiative is part of Warwick District Council’s ‘Low Cost-Low Carbon’ programme, to help residents lower their carbon emissions and energy bills.

The Go Renewable home survey gives accurate, impartial, expert advice along with in-depth information on properties which include:

• the most suitable technologies for your home
• recommendations for where the technology could go in your home
• calculations for how much heat is lost from each room
• tailored advice to improve your home’s energy efficiency
• an updated energy performance certificate (EPC) if required

This survey can then be used to obtain quotes from MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certified installers through a secure Go Renewable hub.

Councillor Lowell Williams, Portfolio Holder for Decarbonisations, said:

“It’s great to see that some residents have already benefited from this pilot scheme. Time is running out though, so if you’re beginning your retrofit journey and could benefit from expert advice and support, please do get in touch with Go Renewable and take advantage of this fully funded scheme.”

Polly Ruggiero, Business Manager at Go Renewable, said:

"This pilot empowers Warwick District residents to take actionable steps toward a more sustainable home. By providing tailored advice and guidance on low-carbon technologies, we hope to support both energy efficiency improvements and the wider adoption of renewable energy solutions."
